Cleveland Congressman Dennis Kucinich has teamed up with an unlikely partner asking Citi Group to back out of their $400 Million dollar naming of the New York Mets new stadium. One of the most liberal members of the House of Representatives teamed up with Texas Congressman Ted Poe who is one of the most conservative members in the house. The pair wrote a letter to Treasury Secretary Tim Geithner in regards to what is suppose to be named City Field that read:

"Absent this outcome, we feel strongly that you should compel Citigroup to return immediately all federal monies received to date, as well as cancel all loan guarantees."
