[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Here’s how it will play out - Council will delay and delay the vote and/or not accept this ridiculous offer, Congress/Trump will step in, we end up with the stupid stadium and lose home rule. Thanks Muriel!![/quote] The Senate vote that handed the RFK campus back to DC expressly forbids federal funding of the stadium. And it seems unlikely that the House will give DC its $100 million back as long as the mayor is touting new and mind-bogglingly stupid ways of spending any funds that she may receive. A common refrain among the astroturfers is “don’t let the perfect be the enemy of the good”. Which is a fine principle, except that this deal is not politically infeasible but also is going to be used as justification for keeping DC poorer for every day that it is around.[/quote] The House mandated the stadium, and it isn't 100 million, it is 1.1 billion they are holding up.[/quote]
