Some More Cropp Thoughts

Linda Cropp, despite three prior opportunities, has NEVER voted for a stadium bill that meets the requirements of the Baseball Stadium Agreement. She has, in order: (1) removed a stadium bill that had 7 votes in support from the Council's agenda; (2) abstained from voting in favor of a stadium bill that met the requirements of the agreement; and (3) inserted a $140 private financing poison pill into the stadium bill, a provision that ensured its failure to meet the requirements of the agreement.

In short, she has never done a thing to indicate that she will support a stadium deal that met the requirements of the agreement - except for cheering her head off at the announcement of the deal in front of the City Museum.

How many times does Mayor Williams have to play Charlie Brown to Cropp's Lucy Van Pelt? She's going to swipe the football away again. This time, of course, all of DC's baseball fans will wind up flat on their backs.
