On Thursday, a new bipartisan bill was introduced in the House that could be the next play in bringing football back to the District. The D.C. Robert F. Kennedy Memorial Stadium Campus Revitalization Act would extend the land lease between D.C. and the federal government for another 99 years while also allowing the construction of a new stadium on the site. D.C. Mayor Muriel Bowser has continued to be a fan of any effort to bring the team back to the District, while Council Chair Phil Mendelson has remained more skeptical. Both will join us on the show to weigh in on this bill and what comes next.

The Montgomery County Council has approved a 6% rent cap increase after plenty of debate and compromise. The lead author of the legislation was Councilmember Natali Fani-González. She sits down with Kojo and our guest analyst Morgan Baskin to discuss how this compromise came to be, what it means for residents, and the next steps. Plus, a public hearing was held this week about pedestrian safety in the county. We ask Fani-González what can be done to keep locals safe while walking and biking in their communities.
