In another effort to stop $380 million in public funding for a new baseball stadium in Las Vegas, a Nevada teachers union announced new plans for legal action on Tuesday.It is not expected to stop MLB owners from voting to approve the Oakland A’s relocation on Thursday, when the owners will meet in Arlington, Texas, and expect to approve the relocation in a unanimous vote, according to The Athletic.But the new lawsuit could call into question the viability of Fisher’s plan to move the club into a ballpark on the Las Vegas Strip.

Joe Lombardo in June, when the state legislature approved the public spending package.Dawn Etcheverry, an elementary music teacher and the president of the union’s “Schools Over Stadiums” political arm, said in a statement that the bill “violates at least five sec...
