There are two new deadlines set in teh stadium controversy: an eviction court hearing on Feb 24, and a March 6 deadline for baseball to accept or reject the deal.
Three councilmembers betrayed the people who voted for the by voting for the stadium after being elected on a paltform to stop it: former mayor Marion Barry,Vincent Gray, and Kwame Brown.
There is now discussion in the community of petitioning the stadium lease to the ballot-and of recall petitions against all councilmembers who voted for the stadium.
Hopefully MLB will reject teh council's offered lease, as they explicitly stated baseball would NOT pay cost overruns on the stadium, but if they sign it there will be hell to pay for pro-baseball politicians in Occupied Washington...
