Reviewing the latest in a long string of efforts by Major League Baseball to bilk taxpayers in the nation's capital, economist Dennis Coates concludes: Sports team owners have a lot of balls.

Interesting--but why hasn't the Doug Bandow story been posted here today? Shouldn't this be news on a vaguely libertarian website?

We'll have something on it later.

If this is going to happen, at least it is happening in a prosperous city like DC. I would hate to see this in a city with failing schools, crumbling infrastucture, underfunded public services, etc.

At least somebody in D.C. has done something right: filibustering the renewal of the PATRIOT Act.

after the MLC stadium gets built they need to rip down RFK and build a proper football-specific stadium for DC United -- the only sports team winning anything in the past 10 years really...

Off topic news!! And it's great!
The Senate rejected attempts to reauthorize several provisions of the USA Patriot Act as infringing too much on Americans' privacy and liberty. In a crucial vote, the bill's Senate supporters were not able to get the 60 votes needed to overcome a threatened filibuster by Sens. Russ Feingold, D-Wis., and Larry Craig, R-Idaho, and their allies. The final vote was 52-47.

Hoo boy --
Spur: Kevin Payne's got it covered. Progress is slow and steady for the black and red.
One of the counterarguments I've heard that justifies the stadium is the strange location of DC between MD and VA. While the stadium may not generate revenue overall, it might pull in $ to DC that would have gone to MD or VA. Accordingly, from the respect, while the stadium overall would be revenue neutral, or negative, for DC it could be a large plus. Simply based on the strange boundary line situation it finds itself in. I'm not sure the argument is correct, but it is one not addressed here.
