A bill that sets up the framework to finance a potential Major League Baseball stadium in Salt Lake City, Utah, cleared the fence in its first legislative at-bat. The proposal, which includes raising hotel and car rental taxes to fund half of the stadium's estimated $1.8 billion cost, aims to revitalize the city's west side. The Utah House of Representatives voted in favor of the bill, which has seen a big change as it hit the House floor. The effort is supported by entities such as @slcmayor and @theLHMcompany, with coverage by @dennisromboy.
