The D.C. Council is progressing with Mayor Muriel E. Bowser's proposal for an RFK Stadium deal that necessitates support from at least seven lawmakers. Chairman Phil Mendelson has introduced a bill that will initiate public discussions and allow for financial analysis of tax abatements affecting the Washington Commanders. Most council members are leaning toward supporting the deal, although some have expressed concerns about the financial implications for taxpayers. A public hearing is scheduled for late July before a vote is expected.
"On Tuesday, D.C. Council Chairman Phil Mendelson introduced a stand-alone RFK Stadium bill that allows the council to complete its due diligence and hold a public hearing."
"All but one council member have either committed to supporting the stadium development with public investment or are contemplating changes that would get them to a yes vote."
