Arizona lawmakers introduced a plan late Tuesday to shift sales and income tax revenues to help the Diamondbacks update their home ballpark.
Arizona lawmakers revealed a proposed bill that provides the framework of how the Arizona Diamondbacks can fund renovations at Chase Field.
House Bill 2704 is a "sustainable" solution to keep the baseball team at the Phoenix stadium, the bill's sponsor says.
State House Rep. Jeff Weninger introduced House Bill 2074, which would create a guaranteed revenue stream to help the Diamondbacks fix up Chase Field.
The City of Phoenix could lose $35 million for its police and fire departments. Micaela Marshall reports. The Maricopa County Attorney's Office said it successfully prosecuted 300 cases of organized retail theft in 2024. Arizona scored lower in reading and math tests compared to the national average.
House Bill 2704 proposes to reuse sales and income taxes associated with the ball park and Diamondbacks. Weninger is chairman of the House of Commerce Committee.
At their Corbin Burnes introductory news conference, Diamondbacks team officials sounded more encouraged about finding funding for the ballpark.
