For a team with no other tangible offers in place from other local governments, and a site that was a potential gold mine for DC but will now be in Commanders owner Josh Harris's control on a 90-year sweetheart lease, $6.6B is a pretty incredible get.

The Council Budget Office's analysis of the RFK Stadium deal is out & it's even more expensive than first reported.

Total DC Taxpayer Subsidy: $4.4 billion‼️

We need a better deal. That’s a huge price to pay with not enough coming back to DC taxpayers. There's still time to get it right.
