Cobb commission chairman Tim Lee negotiated the Braves' move out of Atlanta in secret and announced it in November 2013, committing about $300 million in county money over thirty years with no referendum. Citizens were removed from the hearing. The ballpark opened in 2017, Lee lost his seat in 2016 to a challenger running on transparency, and studies since have put the county's annual shortfall on the deal in the tens of millions.
That was 1 of the hidden places.
