Alexander Marks, director of strategy for the Nevada State Education Association, has been a vocal opponent of Nevada’s vote to give $380 million to help John Fisher move the Oakland A’s to the Vegas strip.
Alexander stopped by the EFT podcast to discuss several topics including:
The NSEA’s strong opposition to the A’s stadium money giveaway.
Schools Over Stadiums, the organization the NSEA has formed to fight the A’s stadium in Las Vegas.
Why Nevada schools rank 48th in per-pupil funding and have the largest class sizes in the nation.
Why most Nevadans oppose using tax money on an A’s stadium.
Was the A’s money vote a tipping point that angered Nevada voters and awakened them to political activism?
What the NSEA has planned in hopes of stopping the A’s move.
