House GOP Tax Plan Will Cost Oakland Raiders Las Vegas NFL Stadium Bond $870 Million

House GOP Tax Plan Will Cost Oakland Raiders Las Vegas NFL Stadium Bond $870 Million - Video

House GOP Tax Plan Will Cost Oakland Raiders Las Vegas NFL Stadium Bond $870 Million. The bill will cost additional $29 million in bond debt annually over 30 years. Plus, Clark County can't float it. The Stadium itself has to pay the bill and there's no enough money generated from it to do that. A watered down stadium for UNLV would cost much less.

House GOP Tax Plan,Potential Oakland Raiders Las Vegas NFL Stadium Killer, Passes

House GOP Tax Plan,Potential Oakland Raiders Las Vegas NFL Stadium Killer, Passes - Video

House GOP Tax Plan,Potential Oakland Raiders Las Vegas NFL Stadium Killer, Passes The U.S. House of Representatives passed the House version of the GOP Tax Plan by a vote of 227 yes to 205 no. That House GOP Tax Plan contains the provision that renders use of tax-exempy bond financing for professional sports facilities not legal. As I wrote before, here's how it impacts the Oakland Raiders Las Vegas NFL Stadium as planned: The part of the GOP Tax Plan, which is called the “Tax Cuts and Jobs Act”, that is of concern to the Oakland Raiders (as well as all of sport) is Sextion 3604. As I wrote in my post on this from last week “Section 3604 mention and take direct aim at what are called “professional stadium bonds” and reads “any bond issued as part of an issue any proceeds of which are used to finance or refinance capital expenditures allocable to a facility (or appurtenant real property) which, during at least 5 days during any calendar year, is used as a stadium or arena for professional sports exhibitions, games, or training.” That effectively kills the very bond issue planned for the Oakland Raiders Las Vegas Stadium. Period. There’s no guessing about the intent of that Section 3604 provision: it’s about as subtle, as Miami Dolphins Head Coach Don Shula might say, “as a punch in the face.” A tax exempt bond is commonly issued by a municipal government.” A number of reports have said the GOP Tax Plan is coming for a vote before the U.S. House Of Representatives, but I can report that, according to the House Majority Leader, it’s coming up for vote this Thursday, November 16th. What I wrote on November 8th still applies: In the case of Las Vegas and the Oakland Raiders, and the law that spawned the NFL Stadium Plan, that public body is Clark County, Nevada. Under the “Tax Cuts and Jobs Act”, Clark County would be acting against the law in even meeting to consider doing the Raiders Bonds as the law, the Southern Nevada Tourism and Investment Act (SNTIA), instructs. Indeed, the entire part of the SNTIA would be rendered not legal if the GOP Tax Plan passes with Section 3604 intact. And a restructured Raiders Bond would have to be what is called a “revenue bond” and issued by an entity other than Clark County. The Raiders Bonds could not be issued by Clark County, as that would be illegal, and would have to rely on revenue streams generated from the stadium itself. A new, private firm would have to be formed and that would have power to issue the Raiders Bonds. The Stadium Hotel Tax could still be used, but given it’s paltry 88-100ths of 1 Percent Rate, the revenue throw-off, already small, would be almost miniscule compared to the additional debt. Trying to draw from the stadium revenue flows would quickly reveal that the Raiders already have a $27 million annual deficit in revenue from the stadium, and that’s because of the Bank of America Commercial Loan of $850 million for the stadium, and its debt burden on the stadium. Indeed, the SNTIA numbers from the meetings of the Southern Nevada Tourism and Infrastructure Committee show that such monies as event revenue were already estimated, so when you ‘park’ the Bank of America Commercial Loan into the spreadsheet, you come out $27 million in the hole – annually. And that’s before GOP Tax Reform. With GOP Tax Reform, you have bond underwriters trying to dip into a stadium money source that was never really there. The $27 million stadium operating cost deficit would just grow to massive proportions in a correctly done spreadsheet. And then there’s the construction subsidy bond for the $750 million. According to conversations I’ve had with friends who are in the sports team financing business, the new interest rate for the private version of the Raiders Bonds would be around 9 percent, or greater. When I parked that higher rate into my Raiders Bonds Calculator, that added $2.393 million in monthly debt service costs, or $28.719 million in total annual debt service costs to the bond, coming to $861,572,693.20 over the 30-year bond debt service period. Given that the current average monthly Stadium Hotel Tax Revenue that would go to the Raiders Bonds is $4.190 million, and the required Stadium Hotel Tax Revenue per month after passage of the GOP Tax Plan would be $9.052 million, it’s not hard to see that the stadium plan can’t be financed either by tax exempt bonds (because they’re not legal under the plan) or by Private Bonds given the giant debt service costs, far in excess of the current revenue stream and the small Stadium Tax Rate that caused it.
