Commuters On Staten Island Ferry, NY
Water taxis already float across the Potomac and Anacostia Rivers in the Washington area. But the region doesn’t have anything like a commuter ferry like those in Seattle and New York City.

The latest on the fight for D.C. statehood, the political fallout from Maryland's Speaker of the House race, and a remembrance of Sterling Tucker.
