MLS president to meet with commissioners before soccer stadium vote http://www.bizjournals.com/orlando/morning_call/2013/10/mls-president-to-meet-with.html
Well the meeting with Mark Abbott took place around 10:30 this morning. The sentinel then had an interview with Brummer and Clarke at 11. No one else listed. So I assume another negative article out later today. Need one of Edwards or Clarke. If Clarke is giving interviews with Brummer then Edwards may be the best hope. Or maybe I'm reading too much into that. And then wesh interviews Clarke.

Good luck with the vote. On the football side, you guys have earned a shot at MLS. Hope OC has worked the political side to give you the shot you deserve. Keep the faith and believe 2015 will be the year you.

Last pitch made to ORCO commissioners before MLS stadium money vote http://www.wftv.com/news/news/local/mls-president-make-last-pitch-orange-county-commis/nbS7D/
Jacobs and Russell are 100% yes. Edwards will probably vote yes, Boyd, Thompson and Clarke seem to vote yes if OCSC pay for community parks. Only Brummer is 100% no.
MLS's Dan Courtmache just tweeted that the vote won't happen until the evening time. Session starts at 2 EST but there are several presentations and public comment before the vote.

One of Clarke's reasons for the public ownership stake was to reinvest any profits in the parks & rec department for soccer-related purposes. Perhaps a promise from the club to handle that privately was what swayed him.
PASSED!!! 5-2, with Brummer and Edwards voting no. Massive chants and cheering in commission chambers upon the vote.
