City of Miami and Miami-Dade County Commissioners have put their collective necks on the line with the approval of the Miami Marlins baseball stadium. Not only was the more than $600 million deal not approved by the voters, there are so many loose ends that it's mind-boggling.

In these times of political corruption and squandered tax dollars, these two political bodies have, in essence, conceptually agreed to the mega-deal. Police coverage, minority involvement and other issues are too important to agree to on a handshake. Are these folks for real?

Anyhoo, it would be in the public's best interest to exercise close scrutiny of this issue. Prayerfully, this deal will not leave a debt for our children and grandchildren to satisfy.

Here's to hoping for the best but sleeping with one eye open.
