I didn't read the comments in the original article so excuse me if this is a redundant point but:

Instead of proposing to simply codify how many tickets each government offical receives, Evans could/should have proposed a law directing that any tickets received must be donated to a nonprofit social entity (or something of the sort.) In fact, I'm sure you can draft a law that directs the sports team to donate those tickets directly to the nonprofit social entity so that the DC government officials are not in any way involved. Regrettably, I can foresee a scenario where an official "donates" tickets to a nonprofit social entity with the tacit understanding that the entity will invite the official's preferred guests.

I'm not a fan of the government getting free tickets, but if it's already happening per contractual agreement then at the very least we should ensure, to the best of our ability, that those tickets do not get doles out by politicians. Those tickets are for the public, not the government officials.
