Report: Nevada Lawmakers Not Willing to Contribute $395M A's Are Seeking for Stadium

The ongoing saga of the Oakland Athletics' potential move to Las Vegas has hit another road block over the amount of money the state is willing to contribute to fund a new ballpark.

Per Tabitha Mueller and Howard Stutz of the Nevada Independent, Nevada lawmakers are currently willing to offer up to $195 million in transferable tax credits to the A's for stadium construction. The Athletics are seeking $395 million.

"The amount the state will offer depends on how much money Clark County will offer in the form of county-issued bonds paid by taxes generated on the ballpark site," Mueller and Stutz wrote.
