In the original letter of intent that was submitted to Council page 34
- Worcester Red Sox was to pay the City of Worcester $3,000,000 in December of 2019
 - Worcester Red Sox was to pay the City of Worcester $3,000,000 in December of 2020
 - $6,000,000 total in cash
 - Nothing has been paid to date
 
The only check we have seen between the City of Worcester and the Red Sox is check number 11422 in the amount of $1,000,000 paid by the City of Worcester to the PawSox marked as consultants.   In other words, not only have they not made the $6,000,000 cash investment, we have paid them $1,000,000?

Now when we look at the lease in Council Tuesday night, we see no mention of $6,000,000??  Now we could be wrong.   If someone finds it, please comment below....

Lets take another look at Schedule D on page 34:
Ballpark

 - Rent Series B Bonds 25.9
 - Total 31.9
 
- City
 - Series A Bonds 54.1
 - Total 54.1
 
Site costs
- City

Total Costs 94.5

Maybe we are wrong but we see no mention of the initial 6 million cash investment by the team from the letter of intent anywhere in the proposed lease????    
We could be wrong???       
Someone please correct us!!!

Maybe we need 3 tax rates now so citizens can keep fighting each other even more and distracted from this.
