Online Gaming Takes a Hit

Is it the end of i-Gaming in the District -- or just a bump in the road? We peak inside the Council, and hear why and how the measure was repealed yesterday, and what we can expect next...

Last year's passage of an Internet gambling law in DC hit headlines as "the first of its kind in America." Now, just months before gaming was to start, the contentious law was repealed. But both supporters & detractors know it isn't going away for good. We ask what comes next? And how much revenue might be raised by when?

How much money is the Trump organization getting up front in tax breaks/tax incentives/tax deferrals in exchange for its plans to convert the Post Office Building into a hotel? Are there plans to include a requirement that the construction process include D.C. workers or that jobs in the hotel include set-asides for D.C. residents?
