An ad hoc coalition of individuals and organizations has formed to try and delay Tuesday’s vote by the Cobb County Board of Commissioners on the proposed new Atlanta Braves baseball stadium.

The Cobb Citizens for Governmental Transparency wants at least a 60-day delay in the vote on the project, proposed for a site near I-75 and I-285.

The Braves stadium would cost an estimated $672 million, and county taxpayers would have to pay $300 million.
The coalition includes groups such as the the Atlanta Tea Party Patriots and the Georgia Chapter of the Sierra Club’s Cobb group.

Yes, You read that right: a coalition between the Tea Party & Sierra Club, among others.
Larry O'Donnell asked on his show if the Tea Party, which is apparently strong in Cobb Co., would rise against what he termed "sports socialism".
