“ABCA, MPD Padlock Legacy DC”

By Prince Of Petworth


14th and U Street, NW

Update from Legacy DC:

“It’s unfortunate that DC’s Alcoholic Beverage and Cannabis Administration acted without due process and shuttered our business, which operates legally under Initiative 71. We had planned to present our case during a city hearing already scheduled for April 9th. We were shut down illegally despite this.

The tactics used by ABCA go against the will of voters in the District and against the will of citizens across the United States who are sick of criminalizing cannabis use and sales. The people have spoken, and yet these aggressive, illegal and unwarranted raids continue.

Legacy DC has worked for years to ensure justice in this city, rallying with other I-71 businesses to make cannabis legal in DC – as it is in countless other states. We also strived to be a part of the civic fabric of this city that we love, donating tens of thousands of dollars to local organizations and charities, performing multiple street cleanups and giving a platform to many local talented artists and musicians.

We’re incredibly disappointed by what happened here today, but we plan to continue our fight.”

From the Alcoholic Beverage and Cannabis Administration:

“On April 3, 2025, the Alcoholic Beverage and Cannabis Administration’s (ABCA) Enforcement Division, accompanied by Metropolitan Police Department (MPD) officers, implemented Closure Orders to the owners of Legacy DC located at 1937 14th Street NW, Washington DC.

The Alcoholic Beverage and Cannabis (ABC) Board issued the Closure Orders in response to their continued operation as an unlicensed cannabis retailer. Due to the business posing a credible and imminent danger to public health and safety, ABCA shuttered the business, including padlocking the doors. (more…)

“Metro Board of Directors approves $4.957 billion FY2026 budget that improves service without raising fares – additional Metrorail service and a revamped bus network coming in June.”

By Prince Of Petworth

From WMATA:

“Today, the WMATA Board of Directors approved a $4.957 billion capital and operating budget which improves service while not raising fares.

The approved budget continues to fund Metro at levels where service is safe, frequent, and reliable. In recent years, Metro has seen increased ridership thanks to those tenets and expects that trend to continue with additional Metrorail service and a revamped bus network coming in June.

“We’ve now accomplished 48 months of ridership growth with continued increases to service and continuous improvements for customers,” said Metro General Manager and CEO Randy Clarke. “I want to thank our Board of Directors for their support of this budget and our jurisdictional partners in Maryland, Virginia, and Washington D.C. Metro could not move the region without their collaboration and leadership.”

Metro has also done its part to become a leaner, more efficient organization by identifying $20 million in operational savings from bus scheduling, rail service, fleet management, and administrative savings.

“The Board commends the Metro senior team and staff for identifying opportunities to streamline and improve operations and achieve cost efficiencies across both service and administrative areas,” said Board Chair Valerie Santos. “Even during the significant budget challenges of recent years, Metro’s unwavering commitment to provide efficient, accessible, safe, and reliable excellent service guides the team’s work.”

Operational budget

The FY2026 Operating Budget is $2.498 billion and supports the launch of the Better Bus Network Redesign in year one, which introduces 11 new routes to the Frequent Service Network, expands midday, evening, and weekend service, and enhances connectivity to transit stations, employment centers, and key destinations.

Metrorail changes effective Sunday, June 22
