Oregon’s $800M plan for Major League Baseball stadium heads to governor’s desk

The Oregon House of Representatives overwhelmingly passed a bill aimed at luring a Major League Baseball team to Portland’s South waterfront, sending it to Gov. Tina Kotek’s desk.

Members of both parties voted 46-6 to pass Senate Bill 110 from the House floor Tuesday. The goal of the measure is to finance an $800 million bond project for the construction of the stadium in Zidell Yards should the MLB expand to Portland.

It would be repaid through a "Jock Tax" on athletes and staff of the team, as well as visiting teams.
