NEW | Baltimore County is expected to pass legislation tonight to give the Ravens $25 million for training facility improvements. Economists often criticize such giveaways, but county leaders reasoned that doing so is worth it to preserve tax revenues. thebanner.com/economy/ravens…

The Ravens’ nest might seem to be M&T Bank Stadium, but really, it’s in Baltimore County. That’s where the players practice, primarily live, and — crucially — pay a bulk of their taxes.

Orioles owner David Rubenstein is at The Economic Club of Washington D.C. w/other Washington sports owners. "I obviously have a long way to go because I took the team that was in first place, and put them in last place. ... So that's why this event is here and not in Baltimore."
