USA stadium vote may be linked to new council proposal

After a "task force" meeting on Monday, the Mobile City Council still seems poised to vote Aug. 14 on a proposal to help fund a USA Stadium. But in a fresh twist, that vote now seems to be linked to a companion measure that hasn't seen daylight yet.

Going in, the task force -- essentially an ad hoc committee chaired by Councilman Fred Richardson -- was portrayed as a chance for council members to air out any concerns, complaints or possible changes in the terms of a letter of intent proposed in late June by Mayor Sandy Stimpson.
