💨 Abstract

The Washington Business Journal article discusses a controversial proposal where D.C. taxpayers would contribute at least $1.1 billion to build a new stadium for the Washington Commanders at RFK Stadium. Critics argue the deal is unfavorable, as it offers significant benefits to the team's billionaire owners, including development rights for 90 acres and exemptions from property taxes and rent. Additionally, the deal does not invest in public transportation or local needs like schools and housing.
