SUMMARY: The DC Council passed the first vote, 9-3, on a multibillion-dollar deal to build a new stadium for the Washington Commanders at the old RFK site. The vote was delayed 90 minutes due to last-minute negotiations ensuring labor union use for construction, which swung two key votes in favor. Opponents cited concerns about accountability, prioritizing stadium funding over schools and public services, and rushed decision-making. Mayor Muriel Bowser attended the vote, expressing confidence in final approval expected in mid-September. Changes to the legislation are anticipated before the second vote, focusing on deadlines for surrounding development.

SUMMARY: Sylvia Davis’s daughter, Makayla, a tracheostomy patient, faced a delayed hospital discharge due to the Richmond Redevelopment and Housing Authority (RRHA) denying her reasonable accommodation request for a backup power generator to support her ventilator at home. Despite ongoing communications and multiple follow-ups since July 7, RRHA had not approved the installation. The housing authority cited concerns over generator placement and operational burdens, but legal experts say tenants are entitled to accommodations unless undue burden is proven. Davis feels the lack of meaningful engagement from RRHA unfairly left her daughter in limbo and delayed her safe return home.

SUMMARY: A Delta Airlines flight from Salt Lake City to Amsterdam via Minneapolis experienced severe turbulence, injuring 25 passengers. The Airbus A330, carrying 275 passengers and 13 crew, rapidly ascended 500 feet then nosedived 1,500 feet as turbulence struck while attendants served food. Passengers without seatbelts hit the ceiling and then the floor, with food carts also thrown about. The pilots declared an emergency and diverted to Minneapolis, where ambulances awaited. Most injured passengers have been released from hospital. The FAA is investigating, and Delta is sending a care team to support those affected. The incident caused significant fear among passengers.

More than two dozen passengers were taken to the hospital after a plane hit severe turbulence.
