Good News?

Apparently, good signs are coming out of the district building after meetings between Linda Cropp and Mayor Williams tonight. The stadium issue is on the agenda for tomorrow's meeting, and most involved are telling reporters positive things. It sounds like a deal will be struck to give private financing a chance, and if that fails, then the original public funding deal will stand. Baseball's statements yesterday indicating they are willing to remain open to private financing are consistent with this approach.

Of course, predictions about what this Council would do in the past have been meaningless. But if everyone remains rational, then D.C. baseball fans might just have a Merry Christmas after all.
