“Who DID THIS?!” via @SenLouiseLucas
From Council Chairman Phil Mendelson:
“DC Council Chairman Mendelson released the following statement after news reports that the Virginia legislature may not fund Governor Youngkin’s proposed arena at Potomac Yard.
“The Arena and Monumental Sports have been partners with the District for almost 30 years, and a great asset to downtown,” Mendelson said. “As a deal in Virginia remains uncertain, the Council continues to be ready to welcome Monumental Sports’ change of mind.
“When Monumental Sports announced its intention last December, despite the District’s offer to provide $500 million toward renovating the Gallery Place Arena, Councilmembers unanimously endorsed the offer, in writing, as legislation,” Mendelson added. “As the co-equal legislative branch of the District government, it continues to be our position that Monumental Sports should stay, and our offer remains on the table.”
WTOP reported:
“The development does not necessarily mean the end of the road for Republican Gov. Glenn Youngkin’s plan to lure the teams across the Potomac River with a $2 billion development district featuring a new arena. But barring some turnabout, it deals yet another blow for the proposal, one of the governor’s top priorities.”
So what do you think will happen now? If the deal does get scuttled, do you think they’ll end up staying in DC or look for another home elsewhere?

For many remote workers, a messy home is distracting.
You’re getting pulled into meetings, and your unread emails keep ticking up. But you can’t focus because pet hair tumbleweeds keep floating across the floor, your desk has a fine layer of dust and you keep your video off in meetings so no one sees the chaos behind you.
It’s no secret a dirty home is distracting and even adds stress to your life. And who has the energy to clean after work? That’s why it’s smart to enlist the help of professionals, like Well-Paid Maids.
