The Tampa Bay Rays and their development partner Hines want to build a new baseball stadium and residential and business developments near the downtown site of the current Tropicana Field. And they want St. Petersburg and Pinellas County taxpayers to foot much of the bill.

St. Pete City Council took its first votes last week advancing the project. But it still needs final approval from the council and the Pinellas County Commission.

On Tuesday Café we spoke with Kari Mueller, a licensed Professional Engineer, who has given a series of webinars about the redevelopment project on behalf of the group No Home Run.
