DC Council approves first vote on Monumental deal to keep Wizards, Caps in the District

As expected, the DC Council unanimously passed the Monumental deal Tuesday evening. Prior to the vote, many council members voiced concerns about the terms of the deal they saw for the first time 24 hours before the scheduled vote. Councilmember At-Large Robert White said, “The Mayor dropped the ball. The only reason we have the teams back is because Virginia fumbled.”
