Abstract:

A bond referendum will be on the ballot to choose whether to fund a new stadium for the Durham Bulls, the city's minor league baseball team. City leaders claim it will promote economic development. The author and others believe public funds should not be used and that money would be better spent on schools, parks, and affordable housing. Some residents want more facts before the vote, but officials are not giving them.
