On to today's take: We could have seen this coming. There's a snag in the project to build a new stadium for the Washington Nationals baseball team.
Major League Baseball is saying it has not agreed to pay the District of Columbia's request for $20 million to cover cost overruns for the Nats' new field.
If MLB won't cover that $20 million, guess who gets stuck with the bill? If the District has to pony up the money, that means it's coming from taxpayers. It would be refreshing to see a stadium project paid for entirely with private funds. Taxes are high enough. If someone doesn't want to pay for a sports team, he or she shouldn't have to.
