And the fate of a new stadium in Washington for the Nationals gets more and more complicated as the D.C. Council rejected a revised lease with MLB. This lease would have put a cap on cost overruns, but failed to win approval.
Without the lease, the D.C. Council cannot sell bonds to finance the stadium and the sale of the Nationals has been put on hold. Again.
Update This matter is far from dead apparently. Tune in tomorrow.
Some comments on this in the Dodger Thoughts Mota thread. At 12:30 am in DC the council is revisiting this and will soon vote again on a lease and construction deal as revised during their discussions.
