The Arlington Little League’s annual opening-day ceremony, held Sunday at Barcroft Park, brought hundreds of players to celebrate the start of the season – led by several players who donned the Washington Nationals’ “Racing Presidents” costumes.

Gov. Northam on April 9 vetoed legislation that would have forced the Arlington government to lower tax bills for two local country clubs. But in his veto message, the governor pressed both sides to come to an amenable solution – and held out the prospect of siding with the country clubs in the future if they don’t. “I encourage the parties to continue negotiations to find a solution so that similar legislation will not be necessary in the future,” Northam said in a not-so-veiled message to Arlington officials in his veto message. “I have been assured that an agreement acceptable to both sides of this dispute is close to being reached,” the governor said in vetoing the measure by Del. Tim Hugo (D-Fairfax). The bill would have forced Arlington officials to assess Washington Golf & Country Club and Army Navy Country Club mostly as open space, which would ease each club’s tax burden and bring Arlington’s tax policy in line with other local jurisdictions. The measure sailed through the House of Delegates on a 65-33 vote and passed the state Senate on a 27-13 vote. But a later procedural vote suggested there was not enough support in the bodies to sustain a veto. The two clubs in question: • Army Navy Country Club, which sits on 250 acres in the Nauck community, is assessed at $149 million – $132 million of that for the value of its land – and its 2017 tax bill was $1.5 million. • Washington Golf & Country Club, located adjacent to North Glebe Road, occupies 120 acres, has an assessed value of $83.2 million and received a tax bill of more than $867,000 last year.
