Bill supporting Portland MLB ballpark heads to Gov. Kotek's desk after House approval

PORTLAND, Ore. (KOIN) — The effort to bring professional baseball to the Rose City has cleared yet another hurdle.

Senate Bill 110, which would set aside $800 million for the construction of a new stadium if Portland gets its own Major League Baseball team, was approved by the Oregon House with a 46-6 vote on Tuesday. The legislation was first approved by the Oregon Senate in mid-April, and it passed through the House Revenue Committee just last week.
