Fools Over Stadiums?

To use a sports analogy, when you’re handed the ball 1st and goal at the 1 yard line, you’re probably going to score the touchdown you need unless you do something stupid like fumble two plays until it’s 3rd and goal at the 20.

Yesterday marked a dubious date in the ongoing saga of Schools Over Stadiums trying to let Nevada’s taxpayers vote for a referendum on the $380M of public money earmarked for a new A’s stadium on the Las Vegas Strip. As of yesterday the deadline for submitting the necessary signatures was 2 months away, as June 26th is when Schools Over Stadiums must provide 102,586 signatures evenly distributed across 4 congressional districts (25,647 from each).
