A political action committee backed by the Nevada State Education A sociations Strong Public Schools has filed a lawsuit against the state and its governor, Joe Lombardo. The teachers union is seeking to overturn approving $380MM in public funding for the construction of a new park on the Vegas Strip.  and were among those to cover the development. reported in the middle of January that the union was planning to file a suit. The Nevada Independent provides a full copy of the complaint.  The As are  not  named as a defendant. The suit alleges that the stadium funding law does not comply with the state constitution. Among the plaintiffs claims is that the proposal needed to be voted on by a two-thirds Ignas Brazdeikis Jersey  supermajority as opposed to a simple majority, which is the states constitutional requirement for bills creating or increasing public revenue.  The teachers union has voiced strong opposition to the stadium funding law, arguing that public money would be better served on education. That, of course, is a matter of political opinion. Their legal efforts to block the deal have not succeeded thus far. The union previously sought a referendum to allow voters to directly weigh in on the stadium deal. A judge rejected that proposal in November ( ), which the union has appealed.  Theres nothing to suggest the legal challenge represents a serious threat to the As relocation efforts at this point. The organization continues to evaluate options for a temporary home city covering the 2025-27 seasons with their lease at the Oakland Coliseum expiring at the end of this year. The As are hopeful of having a home facility constructed in Vegas in time for the 28 campaign.  Marcus Morris Sr. Jersey
