What's CITY Talking About?
RFK Bill One Step From Passing
After a session full of twists and turns, Congress has included RFK stadium legislation — which would give D.C. long-term control of the site — in next year’s spending bill. Congress will vote on the bill later this week, which could clear the way for the Commanders to finally return to D.C. [WUSA9]
- This bill would mean more than just a new stadium in D.C., it paves the way for a whole new neighborhood. [City Cast DC 🎧]
GW Resident Doctors Call Off Strike
Resident physicians at George Washington University Hospital called off a strike set to start on Tuesday after reaching a last-minute labor deal with the medical school. The tentative agreement includes higher wages, more vacation time, and money for mental health care. [Washington Post 🔒]
