NEW: We won a $1.2 million judgment against an H Street affordable housing nonprofit director.
Kenneth Brewer diverted $1.2 million of nonprofit funds to himself through improper bonuses.
We are clawing back the money so it can serve its original purpose: supporting H Street.

Metro on “unsustainable” path
In Washington D.C., taxpayers who don’t take the train or bus are increasingly subsidizing those who do, and it’s not sustainable. @DominicJPino explains why.

Amazon continues to fall short of annual hiring targets at its second headquarters in Virginia despite it’s promises of a massive economic infusion to the area in exchange for as much as $750 million in public subsidies for the ongoing development.

Controversy not seen since🚡
Apr 11
I have live here in Arlington, VA (85% D) since 1993 and I have NEVER EVER seen Arlington Civic Associations join together so much to attempt to convince a D Gov, that THEY voted for, to veto and or amend a Bill that the D majority VA Senate and House of Delegates passed. People are NOT happy with SB388 and with the Gov right now.
If she knows what’s best, she will either veto it or drastically amend.
Wow! Literally have NEVER seen this much unity opposing their own party! Folks are NOT happy.

SB Mtg 🧵:
"I'm still asking you to put your devices down & some of you still won't comply. Now imagine you're 8."
Teacher asks how the SB expects teachers to police kids on devices, when she can't even get the SB to put theirs away during community participation.

#MissingMiddle back in news.
Arlington’s idea of “affordable housing”: turning one $860k house into two half-lot homes for $1,600,000 *each*
Apr 8
MISSING MIDDLE: Today, the Virginia Supreme Court heard arguments in Arlington's hotly debated 'missing middle' plan
In the meantime, developers already have projects underway. For ex: one single-family home sold for $860k, split into two duplexes that sold for $1.6 million each
