DC Councilmembers Refuse Baseball Tickets
The fight between the Mayor and DC Council over complimentary tickets to the Nationals new ballpark took an especially ugly turn on Monday.
Mayor Adrian Fenty is steadfastly refusing to surrender control of one of the two luxury suits made available to elected officials at Nationals Park.
Yesterday as the Nats were returning home to begin a series against the Florida Marlins, Fenty had two tickets hand delivered to each of the 13 legislators offices.
That move really set off Chairman Vincent Gray who feels the Council should have control of it's own suite and allotment of tickets.
Gray had each Council member turn in the Nats-Marlins tickets to his office. He then had all 26 tickets returned to the Mayor.
Stay tuned!

If anyone should have luxury seats at the Nats new stadium, it should be Ex Mayor, Anthony Williams! I was not in support of the new stadium and if I remember correctly, Adrian Fenty was also a non supporter of the Stadium. I am not against Baseball, I enjoy a game and a hot dog once in a while!Mayor Fenty, in my opinion is being quite greedy!! You have a suite to yourself and you also want to dictate who gets tickets in the Council suite! For someone who did not want the Baseball Stadium in his city for whatever reason, you should be more than satisfied with however many seats you receive!
Mayor Fenty is showing his true colors. He's mean and spiteful, just like a small child. It's horrible the way he's behaving.
I cannot believe that anyone thinks this man is on par with Barack Obama. That's insulting to Obama. The only person Adrian Fenty reminds me of is Jesse Jackson.
He's a mean man with a God complex. He needs to get over it. I won't make the mistake of voting for him again.
