H.R. 4984 received overwhelming, bipartisan support and we want to thank House Oversight Chair James Comer, Congresswoman Eleanor Holmes Norton and all of the co-sponsors for championing this legislation.

From the office of Congresswoman Eleanor Holmes Norton:
“Congresswoman Eleanor Holmes Norton (D-DC) released her floor statement ahead of today’s scheduled debate and vote on her bipartisan bill with Chair James Comer (R-KY) to direct the federal government to transfer administrative jurisdiction over the RFK Stadium campus to D.C. for 99 years, allowing D.C. to use the land for stadium redevelopment, commercial and residential development, or other public purposes. Norton has worked on prior versions of the bill aimed at revitalizing RFK Stadium campus, which at 174 acres is the largest unused track of land in the District, since 2017. This is the first time any version of the legislation has been considered on the House floor. (more…)

I think I heard it was supposed to launch in March or April. When it does will that push anyone towards purchasing an ebike? For those who have one already, do you recommend them?

“Dear PoPville,
Just noticed License Suspended at NuVegan, appears that the license on Georgia has been suspended as of February 14. Any idea why?”
I think this means they are delinquent in paying a business registration fee?

“Dear PoPville,
Here’s the the online petition requesting the Mayor revoke the new telework policy that demands employees return to the office 4 days/week.
The statement was written by employees who are hoping DC residents and other DC govt employees can share and sign!
Solidarity with our cause will hopefully also result in other agencies and businesses being aware that telework must be here to stay!!”
