From the Office of the Attorney General for the District of Columbia:
“Attorney General Karl A. Racine today filed suit against the parent company of Washington Sports Club (WSC), Town Sports International, LLC (TSI), for failing to abide by promises made to gym members while its facilities were closed due to the COVID-19 pandemic. In mid-April, responding to a letter sent by AG Racine and other state Attorneys General, TSI had agreed to freeze memberships, credit consumers for dues paid while their gyms were inaccessible, and process requests for cancelations. Since reopening on June 22, however, the company has neither issued those credits to account holders, nor processed all membership cancelations. In response, the Office of the Attorney General (OAG) is seeking a court order forcing TSI to follow through on its agreement to credit consumers and process cancelations, along with civil penalties. This is the second consumer protection lawsuit OAG has filed against the company. (more…)

From the Mayor’s Office:
“The District’s reported data for Wednesday, August 19, 2020 includes 55 new positive coronavirus (COVID-19) cases, bringing the District’s overall positive case total to 13,409.
The District reported one additional COVID-19 related death.
· 58-year-old male
Tragically, 601 District residents have lost their lives due to COVID-19.
The community spread chart is subject to fluctuation because the data is based on symptom onset date. As national demand for testing increases and results take longer to come back in DC and across the country, DC Health has identified a need to increase the reporting lag time by four days to reduce volatility in the data. The most recent data reflects an increase in community spread. To ensure this graph accurately reflects the most recent data, the community spread count is being paused as these adjustments are made.” (more…)

Timing, again, feels right to remind folks of our Democracy Tree. It was planted in 2000.
“This Tree is dedicated to the more than half million veterans, taxpayers, and citizens of the District of Columbia who, despite fighting in foreign wars, paying their full measure of taxes and faithfully serving their country, continue to have no voting representation in the Congress of the United States of America.
“Taxation without Representation is Tyranny”
Foundry Democracy Project, Foundry United Methodist Church”
Here’s to hoping we are able to change the name to The 51st State Tree soonest.
