The Miami Dolphins and other supporters of a renovated Sun Life Stadium scored a preliminary political victory today, but the real battle won’t begin until the Florida Legislature convenes in March.
Miami-Dade County commissioners passed a nonbinding resolution asking state lawmakers to give the county the authority to increase its bed tax to help fund the football team’s proposed $375 million to $400 million stadium renovation program. The resolution directs the county’s army of lobbyists in Tallahassee to add the bed tax increase to its legislative agenda.
