Hello District Dime readers, and welcome to the first full week of summer. DC pools are now open all week (www.dpr.dc.gov) and Ke$ha looks like she’s got the undisputed summer jam, but our elected officials are not on vacation. Mayor Gray spoke about jobs and economic development in Yards Park this morning, and the DC Council has a pretty packed schedule of hearings all week.
Here’s what we’re tracking: First, Mayor Gray and the DC Council will have to decide how to allocate the unanticipated revenue the District is scheduled to collect for Fiscal Years 2011 and 2012. We wrote about that last week.
The Council also has a busy week:
It can be found at www.dccouncil.us.
Tuesday, noon, Room 120: The Committee on Human Services will vote to confirm David A. Berns as Director of the Department of Human Services
Wednesday, 10 am, Room 120: The Committee on Finance and Revenue will hold a hearing on Igaming.
