(AP) — Jackson Mayor Scott Conger's office is reviewing the city’s baseball-related spending practices, The Jackson Sun reported. The Sun’s investigation found the city was reimbursing the team for in-kind trades the team made with local businesses. For example, the Generals would swap things like suites and tickets for equipment from local businesses or advertising spots from local media outlets. Although the team didn't pay for the equipment and advertising it received, it would seek reimbursement for those items from the city. The city of Jackson has spent $13.4 million on its baseball team over the last 10 years, the equivalent of $1 out $50 tax dollars going to the team.
