Lawmakers, either in a special or regular session next year, would almost surely have to pass a law enabling the stadium financing scheme to divert public money toward its construction.

The child I love
When Maddy Ralston came into this world almost 21 years ago, it was love at first sight. I cradled her in my arms, my adopted miracle, and couldn’t stop crying. She was the most beautiful thing I had ever seen.
