He did explain the Jaguars were not responding to his inquiries about costs and other things, which threw red flags for him. Perfectly understandable. I also liked his idea that Lot J and stadium upgrades should have been negotiated in the same package. He supports the idea of a dome over the stadium, which is exactly what it needs. Several times he reiterated his ardent support for keeping the Jaguars here and said he bears the scars for supporting them in the past. His main concern with this deal is the lack of transparency from the Jaguars and the development company (whose name escapes me right now).

The most important assertion he made is the Jaguars are not leaving because Lot J didn't pass. 

He's a politician, so take it for what it's worth.

You're right Currys name wasn't brought up, I just assumed he was aware of the details based on the other criticism that he was giving away a sweetheart deal.  Believe Cordish group is the development company.

A family friend of ours has been involved in these negotiations.  Had always been told second hand that Shad basically went to the city and had always used the threat of moving the team if the city wouldnt play ball.  So when Carlucci said "he has it on good authority they won't leave", I'm not sure what that good authority is.  Sounds like this is a game of chicken.  Hopefully we as Jags fans don't lose.  

I'm reaching out to get more information from our family friend to verify if the team was holding back on all the financial details.  I don't know how the negotiations could have gotten this far if no one in the city had any idea of what those financials are.  I tend not to believe politicians.
