With Nevada’s approval of stadium financing deal, time running out to keep A’s in Oakland

The team appears to be closer to relocating to to a new stadium in the Nevada desert following Gov. Joe Lombardo’s signing into law last week of a $380 million public financing package that would help construct a $1.5 billion baseball stadium in downtown Las Vegas.
