MLB Commissioner Rob Manfred Walks Back Comments On Oakland Mayor Schaaf And NFL Raiders The Mayor Of Oakland directly provided me with this email from MLB Commissioner Rob Manfred. I also show and read it aloud in the video: "Libby, I truly thought my comments on Oakland were clear, but let me try one more time. When I was asked about the Raiders, the first thing I said was that I was not offering any comment on the football situation in Oakland. I then said that you had been consistent with me that keeping Baseball was your "first priority", intending to convey that it was at the top of your crowded agenda. I wanted the press to understand how helpful you have been in the process. I then went out of my way to make clear that you have always expressed a desire to keep both teams (football and baseball) in Oakland. I did not intend to suggest that you favored baseball over football which is why I said I was not commenting on football. Please feel free to share this as you feel necessary. Rob"

Oakland Mayor Schaaf Counters MLB Commissioners Saying Both Raiders, A's Important, Not MLB Over NFL After I texted Oakland Mayor Libby Schaaf regarding the comments of Bob Manfred, the Commissioner of Major League Baseball, and the idea that she prefers the MLB over the NFL, Libby texted me back saying "You know I haven't said that. Everything I've done proves that's not true. I want them both." Then she texted "It from what I said a while ago that more games = more economic impact." But Libby's position on that has not stopped her from working with the NFL to keep the Raiders. My video discusses that and the at times thorny relationship between Schaaf and Oakland Raiders Owner Mark Davis.

Steve Sisolak Unknowingly Admits Clark County Can't Handle Bond Debt Coverage Ratio Of 2 - 1.8 Is Max Steve Sisolak just stuck his foot in his mouth. The stadium bond debt coverage ratio that the SNTIC recommends is 1.5 - Sisolak says that Clark County has a bond debt coverage ratio capability of 1.8. Not 2. That means that with an industry standard debt coverage ratio of 2 a $750 million bond issue and public subsidy is not doable. Wow Steve. Wow.

Harry Connick Cost ScienceChase New Subs With Wrong YouTube Channel Name Chase Wiley was on "Harry" an hour ago and Harry Connick, Jr. said the wrong channel name as ScienceC, when his channel is called ScienceChase. Chase set it up so that his channel web address is not the same as his logo name. His URL reads "ScienceChase" but his logo reads "ScienceC". So when Harry Connick, Jr said "ScienceC" he and his staff were only repeating what they saw in his channel page. So really it's not their fault - it's Chase's. Don't make that mistake YouTubers!

SNTIC Recs Bundled Into Large 55-Page Legislation For Nevada Special Session The last Nevada Spacial Session featured two bills that, in total, were six pages long, three pages each. This bill , by contrast, and for today's special session is 55-pages long. It's hard to see how the Nevada Legislature is going to effectively wade through this in one day, let alone two, considering that this is new ground for many of them and that it had a lot of policies within the policy to consider. Southern Nevada Tourism Improvements Act - SB1 - Nevada Special Session Bill #Raiders #NFL This bill requires a two-thirds' vote of the Nevada Legislature at its special session, which starts Monday, October 10th at 8 am. The bill would, if passed as is, pave the way for either an NFL Football stadium paid for in part by a hotel tax increase and $750 million subsidy, or a college football stadium for University of Nevada Las Vegas (UNLV), a subsidy for an expansion of the Las Vegas Convention Center, and a new law enforcement enhancement budget and corridor, and a new aviation fuel policy. http://ift.tt/2dZvbqL

Las Vegas Oakland Raiders NFL Stadium Legislation Has Fiscal Mistake That Hurts Clark County In its rush to approve a poltically-motivated recommendation for a $750 million subsidy for Las Vegas Sands and for an NFL-ready stadium ostensibly for the Oakland Raiders, The Southern Nevada Tourism and Infrastructure Committee, lacking a second opinion on the design of the proposed public subsidy, and whether it would actually work, allowed itself to be intellectually bullied into accepting a plan that has no real written protection for Clark County, Nevada. The fiscal plan was formed to create an argument that a $750 million subsidy was doable, even if the fact was that it's too high by $200 million. In municipal bond finance, there is a term called “the debt coverage ratio”. That means the amount of money that, in this case, a tax, is projected to take in, over and above the annual bond payments plus interest required to pay for it over time, in this case 33 years. Ideally, you want twice the revenue to come in annually over the cost of the annual bond payments, or that's called “annual the debt service”. In fact, municipal bond finance calls for a debt coverage ratio of 2. I've written and vlogged about this before, but it bears repeating because the basic problem still exists, and now the Nevada Legislature is being asked to approve it by Governor Sandoval. The $750 million bond issue is based on a debt coverage ratio not of 2, but of 1.5. In other words, they would be allowed to take in less money over and above the annual the debt service – a riskier bond issue. So why do 1.5 and not 2? Well, $750 million times 1.5 is $1.125 billion - $750 million times 2 is $1.5 billion. So in order to justify the $750 million you only need $1.125 billion and not the additional $375 million, which would get us to $1.5 billion. When I first raised this issue, the original $750 million bond plan was to be for what's called a “revenue bond” - that means the bond is based on the projected revenue stream from the tax increase. But when the SNTIC elected official started to ask questions about the debt coverage ratio, the bond plan was changed so that it is a general obligation bond. The definition of a general obligation bond, according to the Municipal Securities Rule Making Board is this: “Typically refers to a bond issued by a state or local government that is payable from general funds of the issuer, Most general obligation bonds are said to entail the full faith and credit (and in many cases the taxing power) of the issuer - Clark County. By contrast, a revenue bond is a type of bond issued by a state or local government, but is based on a specific source of revenue, like a hotel tax, in this case, or the sale of personal seat license's in the case of the first Raiders Deal that upgraded the Oakland Coliseum and paved the way for the Raiders to return to Oakland from Los Angeles. In the case of the first Raiders Deal, the protection against bond default in case less than the required level of $83 million in personal seat licenses were sold were the general funds of the City of Oakland and the County of Alameda – only $56 million were sold. The deal didn't work, and the City of Oakland and the County of Alameda are into their 20th year of $20 million in annual payments from their general funds. The Las Vegas Raiders Deal is written in such a way that it dips directly into the Clark County General Fund, and while the stadium authority is used as the collector of tax money from the hotel tax, there's no language that specifically says that no part of the Clark County general fund can be used in place of, or in addition to the tax revenue that's collected by the stadium authority. There is no language that specifically defines where the Clark County general fund is in the deal – it's not there. Yet, the legislation calls for a general obligation bond, but it's based ostensibly based on a single-source of revenue, the hotel tax increase. Right? So if the Clark County's floating the general obligation bond, where is the language that it collects the tax revenue from the stadium authority? It's not there – the stadium authority is the collector of the money. Normally under a general obligation bond, Clark County itself would collect the tax revenue, and not the stadium authority. What this should have been is the County collecting the tax increase revenue, and then giving to the the stadium authority the amount needed for the bond debt service. It's like someone at the SNTIC didn't want Clark County to have clear control over the flow of funds, but then forgot that its being asked to issue a general obligation bond! This is all messed up. You can't guess at the correct answer and say “Well, they intended this” – it's supposed to be written in the legislation. It's not there.
