I thought this was the law everywhere. The deposit money is supposed to go into escrow where it gains interest. The landlord isn’t supposed to spend it. Your money is being held and to compensate for that you get to keep the interest earned on it (because theoretically you could have invested it or placed that money into a savings account).

I’ve earned interest on security deposits in Richmond and Columbus OH.

And yet no ball park or arena or football field anywhere in the country has ever made a profit nor have they paid for their own maintenance.

Fat Dragon consistently has a wait. The current Diamond was the best in minor leagues when built and yet over its lifespan it spawned no business in the area, not so much as a hotdog stand.

I’d like for those in Richmond that enjoy baseball to have a team to support, I’m not a monster, but this is extortion and it is offensive and tone deaf for a billion dollar organization to demand public money for something so frivolous.

Actually players in the minor leagues make really crappy wages, most need a second job to cover rent. The owners don’t pay the players and get the cities and states to cover all their costs. Fuck that noice and fuck MLB

MLB and the Squirrels can suck it.
