WASHINGTON - The sex industry funded part of a campaign that opposes the construction of a new baseball stadium on the Anacostia waterfront.
Opponents of a publicly financed baseball stadium spent roughly $50,000, trying to sway public opinion
In one method used to get their message out, opponents used an automated phone line.
The person on the automated phone call says he's from a group called Friends of the Earth, and he's opposed to a stadium built with public money
Friends of the Earth is part of a coalition called "No D.C. Taxes For Baseball."
