Judging The Commanders' Potential Buyers, Plus DMV Election Analysis
D.C. Attorney General Karl Racine delivered yet another blow to Dan and Tanya Snyder as they apparently prepare to sell the Washington Commanders. Sports journalist Kevin Blackistone and Greater Greater Washington’s Dan Reed join us to talk about how the latest investigation details could affect the Commanders’ sale. We’re also talking election results in Maryland and Virginia, and about a wonky D.C. policy about sidewalks.
As always, our Friday roundup is powered by great local journalism:
- Commanders called out for statement criticizing AG Karl Racine (WashPo Local)
- Election results and analysis for DC, Maryland, and Virginia (WashPo Local)
- Vendors unite to decriminalize unlicensed street vending in DC (WTOP)
Sign up to testify at the DC Council public hearing on sidewalk vending before 5 p.m. on Monday.
