WASHINGTON -- A record crowd of more than 200 people has signed up to testify Thursday on the District's plans to build a Major League Baseball stadium.
D.C. Council Finance and Revenue Chairman Jack Evans is planning for a long day, as the public lines up to speak for and against the city's baseball plans.
Mayor Tony Williams, who is proposing a $400 million stadium and redevelopment project near the South Capitol Street Bridge in Southeast Washington, is not expected to testify, but some aides to the mayor said he still might change his mind. Some fear Williams may look like he's trying to avoid tough questions from council members who are skeptical or opposed to the stadium idea.All 13 council members are expected to attend some of Thursday's hearings and probably give their own speeches about what they think of the stadium plan. The full council is expected to take its first vote on Nov. 9.To win the stadium fight, Williams is now pledging to spend millions of dollars on new community projects.
