With absolutely zero thanks going out to the Lake Worth City Commission of Maxwell, Triolo, Amoroso and Szerdi or County Commissioner Shelly Vana (all worked behind the scenes to bulldoze John Prince Park to bring the Astros and Nationals here but the teams have decided on a West Palm Beach location), Vice Mayor Maxwell's good buddy, Governor Rick Scott, released the following:
Governor Rick Scott today announced that the Washington Nationals
and the Houston Astros, whose leases come up for renewal next year, have
chosen to stay in Florida. As part of this agreement, the Washington
Nationals and the Houston Astros will remain in Florida for the next 30
years and Florida will continue to retain its 15 spring training teams
in the Grapefruit League.
Governor Scott said, "Florida is
proud to be the home of fifteen spring training teams, and we are
excited to announce that the Washington Nationals and the Houston Astros
have chosen to stay in Florida for the next 30 years. Spring Training
has helped to bring Florida families together, create jobs in our
communities, and drive tourists to our state. Florida is undoubtedly the
best state for baseball, and we look forward to many more years of
Spring Training attracting visitors and creating opportunities for
Florida families."
