Fahey changes mind, reappoints Sokol to MECA board
Fahey reversed course Monday and said he would reappoint Sokol to the seat on the Metropolitan Entertainment and Convention Authority board. That decision came just days after officials in the Mayor's Office sent Sokol a letter informing him that he was no longer a member of the board because he canceled his local voter registration.
The mayor had just been told that the donors he was counting on to pony up $43 million in private funds were backing away from their ballpark commitments because of the Fahey-Sokol feud.
