Poll Lampoon Has Orange Seeing Red
by Lori Montgomery and Henri Cauvin Readers of the DCist, a Web site about local culture and politics, were treated last week to an amusing lampoon of the "Orange Poll," the 10-item questionnaire Council member Vincent B. Orange Sr. (D-Ward 5) has been circulating since December to help him decide whether to run for mayor.
"Part insulting, part confusing and wholly unhelpful in measuring public support or opposition for any given issue, Orange seems to have gone cheap on his polling," wrote Martin Austermuhle, a DCist contributor who lives on Capitol Hill and works for the Venezuelan Embassy, according to his bio.
There follows a list of Orange's yes/no queries and Austermuhle's responses. To wit: "5. Are public safety, public education and quality of life important factors in deciding who you will support for Mayor in 2006?" "Now, really, would anyone actually answer 'no' to this question?"

Bipartisan Group Asks House to Set Aside Politics, Give DC Vote
by Spencer S. Hsu Bipartisan backers of legislation to grant the District a vote in Congress yesterday urged House leaders not to allow political divisions to thwart efforts to give representation to 550,000 U.S. citizens in the nation's capital.
Rep. Thomas M. Davis III (R-Va.) introduced the DC Fairness in Representation Act at a news conference and said he hoped to have lawmakers vote on it by December.
"It's fair. It's constitutional. . . . Most of all, it is just the right thing to do," said Davis, who chairs a House committee that oversees the District. "Justice should not have to wait, especially not for politics."

Williams's Stadium Bill Lacks Financing Details by David Nakamura District Mayor Anthony A. Williams has sent long-awaited baseball stadium financing legislation to the DC Council without a key element the council has demanded: private money.
The legislative proposal, which was due in early April, was sent by Williams (D) to DC Council Chairman Linda W. Cropp late Friday.
The bill would give the mayor the authority to suspend a business tax if the full amount of money it would raise is not needed for ballpark construction and to create a special taxing district on new businesses near the stadium to help fund community programs.

Mayor Moves to Curb Medical Malpractice Costs by Lori Montgomery DC Mayor Anthony A. Williams announced a plan yesterday aimed at reducing the high price of medical malpractice insurance by limiting lawsuits, reducing attorneys' fees and capping court-awarded damages.
The proposal, submitted to the DC Council for approval, also seeks to improve patient safety by requiring the city Health Department to develop a system for reporting "adverse medical events." And it would expand the authority of the District's insurance commissioner to demand justification for large rate increases requested by insurers.
But the central focus is protecting doctors and hospitals from frivolous lawsuits and excessive jury awards, problems that Williams characterized as lying at the heart of the malpractice crisis.

Stadium Talks with Landowners Set to Begin
by David Nakamura The District government has put landowners on the site of a proposed new baseball stadium on notice that the city will open negotiations to buy their properties as early as July.
The two-page letters, which were sent last week by the Office of Property Management, stated that owners will have a right to make a counteroffer if they are not satisfied with the city's bid, but they must provide documents to support their claims for higher purchase prices. Also, owners will be expected to vacate the properties by the end of the year, the letters said.
This marks the most aggressive move to date by the city to begin trying to acquire about 14 acres that are privately owned near South Capitol Street and the Navy Yard, along the Anacostia waterfront in Southeast. The city already owns about six acres at the site, made up of roads and public alleys.

421,000-SF Trophy Office Sells
by Barbra Murray WASHINGTON, DC-After having hit the market just a few months ago, the 421,000-sf One Metro Center has found a new owner. Tishman Speyer Properties affiliate sold the class A office property to ING Clarion just two years after Tishman Speyer completed the building's development at a cost of about $140 million. Parties involved in the transaction are not presently discussing the sale figure, but industry experts had been speculating that the property could command $575 to $650 per sf, which would amount to about $242 million to $273.7 million.
Tishman Speyer relied on the assistance of Bill Collins, Paul Collins and Drew Flood of Cassidy & Pinkard. The work of architectural firm Skidmore Owings & Merrill, One Metro Center tops a 12-story building that features a Hecht's department store on the first few levels, with the office segment beginning on the seventh floor.

Allied Capital Securities Sale Yields $976M
by Barbra Murray WASHINGTON, DC-In a $976-million cash transaction, Allied Capital Corp. has closed the books on the disposition of its commercial mortgage-backed securities and collateralized debt obligation bonds portfolio to Canadian pension fund company Caisse de dépôt et placement du Québec. The deal, which also included the sale of Allied Capital preferred shares, will ultimately result in a $216-million net gain for the District-based commercial lending concern.
During a conference call held this morning, Allied Capital chairman and CEO Bill Walton offered details on the motive behind the sale. "It was the best course of action to sell the portfolio as a whole and realize the capital mass we had built," he explained. "It allows us to focus on our core business, which is finance."

Trizec Takes 1200 K St. for $190M
by Barbara Jarvie WASHINGTON, DC-As part of its strategy to enhance portfolios in key submarkets, Chicago-based Trizec Properties has acquired another class A office asset here. The company spent $190 million for 1200 K St. NW. The seller was a group of private investors advised by Prudential Real Estate Investors.
Tim Callahan, Trizec's president and chief executive officer, says the acquisition illustrates the company’s commitment to strategically reposition and enhance its office portfolio in a select number of key submarkets. “With comparable market net rental rates currently averaging 80% above in-place rents, this high-quality property provides solid cash flows with long-term upside potential."

Affordable Housing On Rival Agendas by Tim Craig Montgomery County should build entire neighborhoods with houses reserved for middle-class families priced out of the current real estate market rate, Isiah Leggett, a likely candidate for county executive, said yesterday.
His probable opponent in the Democratic primary, County Council member Steven A. Silverman (At Large), made a more modest suggestion. He proposed that the county tackle the problem by requiring that more lower-priced homes, or "workforce housing," be offered in some new developments.
Affordable housing, particularly the needs of middle-class families, is expected to be a central issue of the 2006 race for county executive, and both Leggett and Silverman sought the upper hand during the Affordable Housing Conference, a day-long summit on the problem.

Knapp pitches his own budget ideas
Gazette Staff Writers Councilman Michael J. Knapp, frustrated by the tone of the budget debate, Thursday offered his own ideas, which he said would balance tax relief with the need for county services.
"Rather than have a real conversation addressing the charter limit ... we have a tendency of drawing a line in the sand. 'If you don't do this, that's bad.' ... There's always a middle ground place. ... Let's drop the rhetoric," said Knapp (D-Dist. 2) of Germantown.
Knapp, who supports a charter limit budget, released two proposals.

Duncan raises stakes over budget
by Douglas Tallman The Duncan administration has launched an unusual lobbying campaign encouraging Montgomery County advocacy groups to lean on County Council members to reject budget cuts.
Longtime County Council members and staff say they have never seen such a full-court press over the county budget, but then this has been a strange budget year.
County Executive Douglas M. Duncan's $3.6 billion recommended budget calls for an 8.3 percent increase in spending, about $67 million more than would be allowed if the county followed the charter limit on property taxes.

Broader Tax Credit Sought by Duncan by Jennifer Lenhart and Tim Craig Montgomery County Executive Douglas M. Duncan announced a plan yesterday to offer additional tax cuts to seniors and those living on fixed incomes, amid recent criticism that he has not offered residents broad property tax relief.
Duncan (D) said he learned of unexpected state aid and a surplus in the county's snow removal budget that he wants to use to provide $8.4 million in targeted tax cuts through an expansion of the county's homeowner tax credit program.
If approved by the County Council, the proposal would triple the number of residents eligible to apply for discounts on their property tax bills.

Duncan, Council Divided On Budget by Tim Craig There was laughter from the audience and rolling eyes from some Montgomery County Council members last week when an administrator declared that County Executive Douglas M. Duncan was eager to work with the council on trimming his proposed 2006 budget.

Shaping and passing an annual budget is the council's job. But the reaction to Beach reflects a growing sense among members that they will get no help from Duncan (D).

Study Says Costs Push Montgomery Firefighters Out of County
by Tim Craig Montgomery's affordable housing crunch has reached yet another milestone as a new report shows that fewer than a quarter of the county's firefighters live where they work, with the largest number living in Frederick County.
The report is another indicator that the middle class is bypassing Montgomery County and other close-in suburbs in search of affordable housing. Last month, county planners projected that the median price of a new single-family detached home in Montgomery will exceed $1 million in about three years.
An array of state, local and federal elected officials will assemble in North Bethesda tomorrow for a summit on ways to ease the housing crunch.

Planners question merit of Beltway widening project
by Chris Williams As engineers described images of a more mobile Beltway on Thursday, county planners wondered if the payoff would be worth the cost to homeowners and commuters.
Representatives from the Maryland State Highway Administration briefed the Montgomery County Planning Board on the idea of adding "Express Toll Lanes" to the Maryland side of Interstate 495 currently under consideration to ease gridlock on the heavily congested Beltway. But after hearing the estimated cost of $3 billion to $4 billion and the relocation of up to 40 homes and businesses required to complete the project, commissioners were skeptical of its merits.
"If you invest this $3 billion, take these 40 homes and tie up traffic during the course of construction for years, and then you get an increase in capacity, how long does that increase in capacity last before it's eaten up and you're back to where you started?" Planning Board Chairman Derick P. Berlage said.

Owners Hold Off On Sales Of Homes by Sandra Fleishman The super-charged local real estate market that has sent home prices soaring is increasingly leaving prospective sellers hesitant to put their homes on the market, believing they cannot find an affordable move-up house, according to real estate agents.
That, in turn, is translating to a tighter supply of homes for sale.
"This is a fear of being homeless and not finding anything, which is a well-founded fear," said Ron Sitrin, a Long & Foster Real Estate Inc. agent in the District. "But the more a potential move-up buyer is afraid to put his home on the market, the more difficulty people will have finding homes. It's a giant Catch-22."

New-Home Incentives: Who Benefits More -- Buyer or Builder's Affiliate?
by Kenneth R. Harney If you have shopped for a newly built house in recent years, you have probably run into this: The builder offers you a substantial incentive -- a finished patio, extra square footage or lush landscaping -- if you agree to obtain your mortgage, and maybe your title and settlement services, through an affiliate of the builder.
Many large builders and community developers routinely offer add-on incentives, and many buyers eagerly snap them up.
But now a major home mortgage industry group wants the federal government to take a closer look at these deals, calling some of them clever violations of real estate settlement and antitrust regulations. The National Association of Mortgage Brokers, the principal trade group for the country's more than 40,000 independent home loan brokers, says builder financing incentives frequently steer buyers to mortgage deals more costly than those competing, nonaffiliated brokers could provide. A delegation of mortgage brokers recently complained to the government's real estate settlement rules officials, asking for a nationwide investigation of builder incentive financing programs.

New Home Sales Continue to Rise by Courtney Schlisserman Sales of new homes in the United States increased to the highest level on record in March, the Commerce Department said yesterday.
Purchases rose 12.2 percent to a 1.431 million annual rate in March following February's 1.275 million pace, a rate that itself was faster than first estimated. The March pace exceeded even the highest forecast in a Bloomberg News survey of economists.
Sales so far this year have averaged a 1.295 million rate, compared with last year's record 1.2 million. Mortgage rates within a percentage point of a four-decade low and job and income gains are encouraging buyers, helping power the economy

by Thomas Dennison ANNAPOLIS -- Edward Miller, deputy chief of staff and a key political adviser to Gov. Robert L. Ehrlich Jr., is weighing a run for the 3rd Congressional District, a candidacy that would bring a Republican dimension to the race that has so far been dominated by Democratic maneuvering.
U.S. Rep. Benjamin L. Cardin's decision to leave his House seat after 10 terms and run for the U.S. Senate has touched off a scramble among Democrats to succeed him in representing the sprawling suburban Baltimore district. Democrats such as Sen. Paula C. Hollinger (D-Dist. 11) of Pikesville and Del. Neil F. Quinter (D-Dist. 13) of Columbia are seen as all-but-declared candidates, but talk about Republican candidates has been rather muted.

Montgomery opposes Beltway widening
by Steven T. Dennis Perez: 'Bury that in the graveyard of bad ideas'
ANNAPOLIS -- While Virginia pushes ahead with a $900 million deal to add toll lanes to the Capital Beltway, Montgomery County councilmen are opposing the Ehrlich administration's $3 billion plan to follow suit on the Maryland side of the Potomac.
Virginia signed a deal last week with two private companies to construct four high-occupancy toll (HOT) lanes along 13 miles of the Interstate 495, while Maryland transportation officials are showing off interim results of its study to add two express toll lanes along its 42-mile stretch.
"I don't know any one of my colleagues who has expressed any degree of optimism about Beltway widening," County Council President Thomas E. Perez said. "Quite the contrary. The clear consensus on the council is that this is a bad idea."

Wal-Mart May Open at Mall by Jenalia Moreno and Michael Barbaro Wal-Mart Stores Inc., the country's largest retailer and a lightning rod for local labor unions, is negotiating to build its first mall-based store in the Washington region -- in Manassas Mall, according to a source familiar with the deal and several mall tenants.
Wal-Mart operates 32 stores in the region, including two in Loudoun County.
With large plots of commercially zoned land growing scarce and jurisdictions across the region passing tough zoning rules against big-box retailers, the company is rethinking its traditional store designs. In Southern Maryland, for example, Wal-Mart has proposed splitting a store into two buildings to skirt a local zoning ordinance.

Reviving the Debate Over Tax Referendums
by Michael D. Shear Four years ago, a central issue in the campaign for governor was whether Northern Virginians should be allowed to vote on a sales tax increase to fund transportation projects.
Mark R. Warner , the Democratic candidate, used the idea of regional tax votes as a way to avoid committing to a tax increase while also signaling to frustrated commuters that he would do something to alleviate traffic. Republican Mark L. Earley said no to tax votes, calling them nothing more than tax increases. They clashed in debates, on the stump and in ads.
It was referendum politics, and you're about to hear a lot more about it.

MetroWest Builders Undeterred By Davis by Peter Whoriskey The developers seeking to build a cluster of mid-rises at the Vienna Metro station say they can push ahead with the controversial project even if Rep. Thomas M. Davis III carries through on an attempt to block it.
The Pulte Homes developers have been planning to erect 13 residential and office buildings on a 56-acre parcel near the station. They say most of their proposal can withstand the pledge by Davis (R-Va.) to persuade Metro to withhold a small but critical parcel of land.
Davis's intervention "dented the car and made it ugly -- but didn't total it," Stan Settle, a Pulte Homes vice president, said last week. "Some people think this thing is going to get killed. [But] we're moving forward."
