Luxury auto dealer Norman Braman's blitz against a $525 million Florida Marlins ballpark and billions of dollars of downtown projects hits the airwaves next week -- just before a crucial County Commission vote on the stadium financing.

Braman said Friday that a political action committee he created has purchased 175 spots on English and Spanish stations in advance of the County Commission vote Thursday. [More]
