A Nevada teachers’ group has sued to block the state from spending taxpayer money to build a baseball stadium on the Las Vegas Strip for the relocated Oakland Athletics.
Strong Public Schools Nevada, a political action committee backed by the Nevada State Education Association, filed a lawsuit Monday in state court in Carson City challenging the allocation of up to $380 million in public funding approved last June by the Democratic-led state Legislature and the Republican governor.
“Every dollar we spend building stadiums is a dollar we aren’t using for public education,” the association said in a statement provided Tuesday by spokesperson Alexander Marks. “Public money should not go to a billionaire for a stadium while Nevada ranks 48th in the nation with the largest class sizes and highest educator vacancy rates in the country.”
