Not Enough Votes
The Mayor of Washington, D.C. does not have the votes to pass the lease agreement:
Mayor Anthony A. Williams asked the District of Columbia Council on Monday to delay consideration of a lease agreement for his proposed Nationals baseball stadium on the Anacostia River waterfront.
In a signal Williams might not have the votes needed to gain approval, officials said Monday evening that he had asked Council Chair Linda W. Cropp to withdraw the lease from Tuesday's agenda to make "small, technical changes" to the 30-year agreement with Major League Baseball.
Cropp is in favor of this issue, so my guess is that the mayor gets his wish. Of course, all this does is delay the sale of the team further.
