Bill passed 35-25. Moves to the Senate.

"The measure would create a fund where a percentage of sales and income taxes generated from baseball games or events at Chase Field would go toward paying for much-needed stadium maintenance and repairs."

DBacks look to throw in $250 million of their own funds.

Chase Field is owned by Maricopa County.

 
seems like a way to push money around without making a politically unpopular move to cut funds from other areas
