Story 6<\/a><\/p>\nThe Braves’ dealings with Cobb County have been well-documented, especially by Deadspin, who has been very critical of the move. I shared stories from them as well as from the AJC, who presented the more investigatory approach.<\/p>\n
Questions:<\/p>\n
Did the franchise truly have no regard for the county and its businesses?<\/p>\n
Who was hired in the development process to do research about where the new stadium should be placed?<\/p>\n
Who are behind the local businesses that the Braves took the parking away from?<\/p>\n
Who were the power brokers in this process?<\/p>\n
Why weren’t citizens allowed to give more input than they were?<\/p>\n
What culpability do local politicians have in this process? Was there ever a time they fought back?<\/p>\n
What is the economic value of the parking the Braves are claiming as their own?<\/p>\n
How much fluidity was the plan between moving from Turner Field and Georgia State moving in? Did this affect the move or was it a cause and effect? Is there any causation?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
