Reds Fight City Over Stadium Electric Bill
Cincinnati Reds claim the city charged $19026 in excess electricity costs at Riverfront Stadium and sent only a $120000 check. Richard Wagner argues a substantial markup amounting to about $72000 from June 1970 to March 1972, while the Bengals face a $63785 bill. The city notes one meter but plans additional meters for each tenant. Wagner accuses the city of underreporting its share and omits several items from the bill.
