But the A’s keep rejecting any public town hall meeting requests. They only hold invitation-only small group meetings.

The concerns from the local communities have never been properly addressed. The A’s are acting like “we hear your concerns, but we will still proceed with our proposal (NOP) and let ‘our’ city council to decide.”

Wondering how can the A’s claim they “reach out to the local communities”? We do know they spend a lot of money on a few business interest groups.

I don’t have the answers to any of them. I’ll try to find out Thursday when I stop by Weibel.

We should have a betting pool, guessing the number. Whoever gets closest wins. I’m pro-A’s in Fremont, but if you’re against it, this is your moment to get the ball rolling.

Also, who received the announcement of the scheduled meeting and when did they receive it? Was it distributed to all residents in the Warm Springs area or within a certain distance from the planned ballpark site?
