LOCAL LEADERS TO ASK MARICOPA COUNTY FOR STADIUM MONEY

1.29.1997

          In Arizona, a coalition of business and civic leaders
     wants to fund an east Valley multi-purpose domed stadium
     using the same quarter-cent sales tax being used for Bank
     One Ballpark in Phoenix, according to Moeser & Kwok in the
     ARIZONA REPUBLIC.  The mayors of Mesa, Scottsdale and Tempe
     are expected to join AZ State Rep Jeff Groscost at a news
     conference today to announce the plan.  The plan "most
     likely" would only tax east Valley residents, and then "only
     after approval from voters in each city."  The proposal
     would extend the Bank One Ballpark tax, which is now
     scheduled to expire in '98, long enough to pay for the $250M
     facility.  Still to be discussed are the site of the
     facility, when cities would vote, and how stadium revenue
     would be divided (ARIZONA REPUBLIC, 1/29).
