Washington Redskins owner Dan Snyder could have another impediment to finding a new stadium site if bills in the Maryland, Washington, D.C. and Virginia legislatures are approved: no public financing.
Del. David Moon (D-Takoma Park) announced Wednesday he is introducing a bill in the Maryland General Assembly that would create a compact between D.C. and Virginia in which the jurisdictions agree not to provide public financing or incentives for a new Redskins stadium.
Moon said legislators in the other jurisdictions are introducing similar bills to create the compact. In Virginia, Republican Del. Michael Webert has introduced a compact bill. In D.C., independent council member David Grosso is sponsoring a bill.
Redskins spokesman Tony Wyllie did not immediately respond to an email requesting comment about the potential compact.
