I think the city should foot the bill for the stadium. Not the people of DC. Would you be for baseball in Rappahannock if it jacked your taxes up? Even though it would be an economical boom, that doesn't help you any!

It's not necessarily the people of DC who are getting taxed. It's the people who go to the games. So that would include a lot of people from Northern Virginia and Montgomery County, MD (such as myself). So if I go to the game and buy a couple of beers, a hot dog, a t-shirt, and a game program. They're going to tax me and put that money back into the DC economy. Linda Cropp makes it sound as if every schmuck living in the city has to foot the bill for this.
As fellow council member Harold Brazil said "In 30 seconds she ruined what was 30 years in the making" She is officially enemy #1 on the DC sports scene. Snyder, Pollin, and Angelos all sent her flowers today
