Businesses Resist As DC Collects On Ballpark Fee by David Nakamura The District government's effort to collect the first installment of a business tax to build a new baseball stadium has outraged some company owners, confused others and renewed a political discussion about restructuring the tax.
An estimated 1,300 businesses that have gross receipts of $5 million or more will be expected to pay the tax, or ballpark fee, said city officials, who mailed out the bills this month. The fees, which initially were due June 15, range from $5,500 to $16,500 depending on the size of a company. The city's Office of Tax and Revenue has granted a two-week filing extension to June 30, which will allow businesses to obtain more information about the filing process.
Objections to the tax bills came quickly.

Mendelson Faces 2nd Challenger In 2006 Race for DC Council Seat
by Lori Montgomery An affordable housing executive and anti-crime activist announced yesterday that he will challenge DC Council member Phil Mendelson (D) for his at-large seat in 2006, becoming the second candidate attempting to unseat the two-term incumbent.
Before 50 supporters gathered in the backroom of Ben's Chili Bowl on U Street NW, David Bowers said he is running to bring new energy to bear on chronic city problems, such as crumbling schools, skyrocketing housing prices and the cycle of violence.
"I'm running because there is compelling human need everywhere I look," Bowers said. "If there is no bold vision, we will come back here 20 years from now and still be talking about people being killed and kids not graduating from school."

Are They His Voters Or Just Eating Free?
by Lori Montgomery and Eric M. Weiss You've got to hand it to DC Council member Vincent B. Orange Sr. The man knows how to fill a room.
Nearly 500 people turned up at the Mandarin Oriental hotel in December to eat a free breakfast, Orange's first exploratory event for the 2006 mayoral race. An estimated 3,000 showed up to drink free booze at his birthday celebration at Dream nightclub in April. And on Sunday, 367 people signed the guest list at his announcement for mayor, where live blues and free, Dream-catered barbecued chicken were on offer in Orange's leafy Northeast Washington back yard.
"Our goal was to have more people than Fenty," said Orange (D-Ward 5), referring to his council colleague, Adrian M. Fenty (D-Ward 4). (Fenty, sadly, offered no free food at his June 1 mayoral announcement, and he attracted only about 100 people.)

DC Council Approves Stadium Labor Pact by Eric M. Weiss The DC Council yesterday endorsed a city agreement that relies on organized labor to build the new stadium for the Washington Nationals, despite concerns that it could hurt city-based minority and non-union contractors and workers.
Mayor Anthony A. Williams (D) announced a labor agreement last week that calls for training hundreds of District residents for jobs generated by the $535 million stadium project.
But council member Vincent B. Orange Sr. (D-Ward 5) introduced an emergency bill that, in effect, would have killed the agreement negotiated between Williams and the unions.

Door May Close on Housing Program by Jonathan Weisman There are times, Jacqueline Massey said, when the quiet of her Anacostia neighborhood reminds her of the dark days of nearly a decade ago, when only eight families remained at the public housing development of Valley Green, huddled in the center of a virtually deserted complex of 34 crumbling buildings.
But it is not the silence of the ghost town it was back then, when it was abandoned by the residents, the police and even the drug dealers. Now, the 58-year-old said, the silence she feels on those same streets is the calm of a community at peace.
"I love going home," Massey marveled. "God is good. He sent us on a journey like the children of Israel. And if you wanted to get to the promised land, you had to work hard to get there."

Orange Running for DC Mayor's Job by Lori Montgomery DC Council member Vincent B. Orange Sr. announced yesterday that he is running for mayor, casting himself as a veteran politician with the business savvy to broaden the city's economic renaissance and spread its benefits to public schoolchildren, blue-collar workers and forgotten neighborhoods east of the Anacostia River.
Addressing dozens of supporters at a catered picnic in the shady back yard of his family's home in Northeast Washington, Orange (D-Ward 5) took credit for helping to nurture the city's financial turnaround during two terms on the council. As mayor, he said, he would seek to build on that success by focusing resources on public schools, affordable housing, health care for the poor and jobs for city residents.

Cropp Defined by Ballpark Push by David Nakamura DC Council Chairman Linda W. Cropp positioned herself as a champion of District residents late last year when she demanded that Mayor Anthony A. Williams find private financing to help build a baseball stadium.
Cropp said she was uncomfortable with the mayor's proposal to use mostly public funds for the $535 million project. Last week, however, Cropp's search for private money met a quiet demise.
After reviewing eight offers from private companies, city leaders in recent months eliminated all but the one from Deutsche Bank. But Cropp (D) said last week that she would not bring the Deutsche Bank proposal forward for a vote because it has little support on the council.

Stadium Deal Calls For Union Workers by Robert E. Pierre Mayor Anthony A. Williams announced yesterday that the city has reached an agreement that requires local unions to hire and train hundreds of District residents for the construction of the new baseball stadium.
Williams made the announcement under a sweltering sun near home plate at Robert F. Kennedy Memorial Stadium, where the Washington Nationals currently play, surrounded by more than 100 union members in the construction trades who are hoping to get a piece of the $535 million project.

Neighborhoods Receive $17M for Revitalization
by Barbra Murray WASHINGTON, DC-A handful of neighborhoods in the District's Northeast and Southeast areas--including the Anacostia, Deanwood and Hillcrest communities--have been designated to receive $17.5 million in investments from the RLA Revitalization Corp., a subsidiary of the National Capital Revitalization Corp. The funds will be culled from the disposition of market-rate properties and redirected toward a variety of projects designed to rejuvenate the environment in Wards 7 and 8.
W. Ronald Evans, chairman of RLA's board, says members' acted expeditiously to "identify investments in projects, such as community centers, affordable housing, and the attraction of new jobs, which will serve the needs of families living in underserved neighborhoods." The designated projects include the acquisition of land at Skyland Shopping Center for $7.2 million, a $5 million investment in new home construction and the purchase of land, single-family homes and multifamily structures in both wards for a total of $4 million. Also included is a $930,000 investment in a mixed-use property and a $400,000 investment in the Walter E. Washington Community Center.

Data Firm Leases 14,500 SF in Georgetown
by Barbra Murray WASHINGTON, DC-Georgetown Place, located at 1101 30th St. NW prepares to open its doors to a new occupant now that Aaxis Technologies has taken on 14,500 sf at the 110,000-sf office building for its corporate headquarters. Aaxis, which provides data acquisition and management services to the legal industry, signed a 10-year lease.
As a result, Aaxis will be able to relocate its corporate headquarters from 1405 Rhode Island Ave. NW and consolidate the head office with its other local office under one roof. The deal also secures space for future expansion and leaves the company with three times the space provided by both locales. Mark Sullivan of Cassidy & Pinkard represented Aaxis, which has tapped the real estate services firm's Adrian Conforti to oversee project management for the construction of the new headquarters space. Property owner Columbia Realty Venture was represented by Bernstein Management Corp.'s Austin Herndon.

When all is said and done--which will be one year from now when the newly spoken for space becomes available--Davis & Harman will have its name on a total of approximately 32,800 sf encompassing the top two floors of the 12-story structure. The lease, negotiated on behalf of the tenant by Jeffrey Shrago and Paul Graham of Studley, is for a 10-year term. CarrAmerica's Phillip Thomas represented the property owner.

Cardin to Hold Event on Van Hollen's Turf
Washington Post Staff Writer Rep. Chris Van Hollen (D), who represents portions of Montgomery County in the U.S. House, may eventually decide to run for the Senate, but three dozen Montgomery residents are hosting a big-money fundraiser next week for a possible opponent in next year's race, Rep. Benjamin L. Cardin.
Cardin, who represents Maryland's 3rd District, which includes parts of Baltimore and Howard, Anne Arundel and Baltimore counties, announced his candidacy in April for the Democratic nomination to replace retiring Sen. Paul S. Sarbanes (D).
Kweisi Mfume, former head of the NAACP, also is a candidate for the Democratic nomination. Van Hollen, whose district includes about half of Montgomery and a small part of Prince George's County, also is considering entering the race.

Blossoming Gubernatorial Campaigns, in All but Name by Matthew Mosk and John Wagner Baltimore Mayor Martin O'Malley says he collected more than $2 million at a fundraiser Monday night. He spent yesterday afternoon in Montgomery County, the back yard of the other technically unannounced 2006 Democratic primary aspirant, County Executive Douglas M. Duncan.
But when a reporter asked O'Malley why he has not formally declared his candidacy for governor of Maryland, he seemed unable to summon an answer, saying such an announcement might come "sometime not in the too-distant future."
It is one of the oddities of Maryland's political landscape at this moment: O'Malley and Duncan are both clearly running for governor, yet are engaged in a form of semantic gymnastics to avoid formally declaring themselves candidates.

Duncan Chides Ehrlich Over Cuts in Medicaid by John Wagner Montgomery County officials took aim at Gov. Robert L. Ehrlich Jr. yesterday for making budget cuts that will cause hundreds of legal immigrants in Maryland to lose their taxpayer-subsidized health insurance next month.
As part of a broader effort to curb Medicaid costs, Ehrlich (R) in January proposed eliminating $7 million in funding for coverage of pregnant women and children classified as permanent legal residents for fewer than five years.

Most of the members gathered for the Wicomico County Democratic Club meeting Wednesday evening knew that Duncan was a county executive and an all-but-declared candidate for governor of Maryland.
But Lutz's question highlights Duncan's difficulty as he gears up to take on the better-known Martin O'Malley, the mayor of Baltimore, in next year's Democratic primary.

Generations Of Residents Settle Down In Scotland
by Janet Lubman Rathner Little about the Potomac community of Scotland hints at its historic significance as one of the earliest African American settlements in Montgomery County or the subsequent treatment that nearly obliterated it.
Today, Scotland is a 10-acre enclave of 100 townhouses off Seven Locks Road, built with the assistance of grants and government funding in the 1960s. But the community dates back to 1879 when, for $210, former slave William Dove bought 36 acres of land at auction.

Chevy Chase residents seek more zoning control
by Chris Williams Last month, the group discussed asking the Montgomery County Council to amend the county charter to give their municipalities the power to make decisions about residential zoning issues. Sparked by the trend of tearing down older houses and replacing them with much larger ones, the group wants the towns and villages to regulate things like building height and floor area ratios, which currently fall under the county's authority, said Stuart Rudikoff, chairman of the Section 5 Village Council.
"It gives the community some sort of control over what goes on, which they just don't have now," Rudikoff said in a phone interview Monday.
The representatives planned to discuss the idea with their respective councils and expected to report back to Section 5 sometime over the next two weeks, Rudikoff said.

Perez kicks off fund-raising for AG race

ANNAPOLIS -- Montgomery County Council President Thomas E. Perez sent a biographical fund-raising solicitation to several hundred potential donors this week, declaring his interest in running for Maryland attorney general next year.
While Perez, 43, continues to carefully emphasize his respect for and deference to Attorney General J. Joseph Curran Jr. (D), his letter laid out several themes that would serve as a platform for his campaign.
Perez (D-Dist. 5) of Takoma Park is in his first term. He said he will not challenge Curran in next year's Democratic primary, but he is poised to jump into the race if Curran, 73, decides to retire instead of seeking a sixth term.

Appraisers Come Under the Microscope
by Kenneth R. Harney Behind the billowing housing boom in dozens of metropolitan areas around the country toils an industry under steadily increasing pressure: legions of real estate appraisers who routinely are asked for professional opinions that validate the soaring values often placed on homes by eager sellers and buyers.
Federal financial regulators, Congress and a slew of private researchers are focusing new attention on appraisers, the accuracy of their valuations, and reported attempts by lenders and others to influence the numbers they produce.
Twice in recent months, federal financial regulators have imposed new rules and restrictions on banks requiring them to more carefully monitor appraisals on first mortgages and home equity transactions. The Office of the Comptroller of the Currency required banks and their subsidiaries to prohibit mortgage loan officers from being involved in the selection of appraisers to reduce the potential for conflicts of interest.

Low Rates, Higher Wages Buoy Builders
by Victor Epstein A gauge of U.S. home builder optimism rose in June to the highest level this year as record home sales, mortgage rates of less than 6 percent and rising wages stoked demand.
The National Association of Home Builders/Wells Fargo index of builder confidence rose to 71 this month from 70 in May, the Washington-based group said this week. Readings greater than 50 mean builders view market conditions as more positive than negative.
Mortgage rates near record lows and improving wages are supporting the housing market, even as soaring home prices and speculative purchases prompt concern from policymakers such as Federal Reserve Chairman Alan Greenspan. Several national housing organizations, including the home builders association, raised their sales forecasts this month and now predict record home purchases in 2005 for the first time.

BALTIMORE -- Politicians want press coverage, but on their own terms.
Nowhere was that more apparent than Monday night at Baltimore Mayor Martin O'Malley's $2 million fund-raiser at M&T Bank Stadium, where the media had to go through presidential-level controls, sans metal detectors.
Campaign manager Jonathan Epstein told reporters and photographers they had to register three days in advance and show up nearly an hour before O'Malley (D) would speak. Once at the stadium, the media were escorted to a roped-in pen in the center of the fund-raiser, while a passel of campaign aides rode herd like sheepdogs.

Ehrlich's Closest Aide Now Has The Title by John Wagner When Robert L. Ehrlich Jr. decided to run for governor in 2002, he tapped Chip DiPaula Jr. to manage what seemed a long-shot endeavor. When he took office in 2003, Ehrlich (R) handed DiPaula arguably the administration's most difficult task: digging the state out of a gaping budget hole.
So no one in Annapolis was surprised last week when DiPaula made his debut in his latest high-stakes role: serving as the governor's chief of staff as Ehrlich tries to shore up a record on which to run for reelection in 2006.
In an administration that prizes loyalty, DiPaula long ago won a reputation as the governor's most valued and trusted aide. DiPaula, 43, is considered whip-smart and accessible around the clock and, as Ehrlich's budget secretary, somehow managed to ingratiate himself with many Democratic lawmakers opposed to the policies he peddled.

Building Curb May Be Relaxed by Ovetta Wiggins A six-month-old Prince George's County law that makes new home construction contingent on ample fire and police service has essentially shut down the pipeline of new projects across the county, planning officials say.
Since the law took effect, none of the 23 new residential subdivisions considered have been approved by the county, said Alan Hirsch, head of the Prince George's subdivision review committee. An additional 13 proposals for 1,039 houses that have not been reviewed are in limbo because of questions about their ability to pass the test, Hirsch said.

Exploring Inroads for Tysons Foot Traffic by Peter Whoriskey Every once in a while, someone tries to cross Route 7 in Tysons Corner on foot.
It isn't easy. At 170 feet curb to curb, the suburban strip is far wider than the Champs-Elysees in Paris, Las Ramblas in Barcelona or Fifth Avenue in New York. Worse, crosswalk and "Walk/Don't Walk" signals, which engineers say would impede traffic, are deliberately scarce.
The few pedestrians willing to cross typically will scan the horizon for a break in the flow of cars, sometimes tentatively dangling a toe over the curb, and finally, engulfed by the rumble and noxious breath of rushing traffic, bolt.

Kaine said the only new money for roads, bridges and trains on his watch would come from budget surpluses, if they materialize, and from a transfer of existing general fund taxes that would provide about $40 million a year for Northern Virginia.
"Any tax increase or any kind of fee increase -- or if we can think of a word that's a synonym for fees -- any revenue increase that's proposed into a transportation system, a trust fund, that's not locked up and protected will be vetoed," Kaine told reporters after a speech to business leaders in Herndon.

BNA To Abandon DC with Purchase of VA Headquarters
by Barbra Murray ARLINGTON, VA-Forsaking Washington, DC for neighboring Northern Virginia, BNA Inc. has committed to purchasing the 289,400-sf office building at 1801 S. Bell St. in Arlington's Crystal City submarket for its new headquarters. BNA has an agreement in principal with seller Vornado Realty Trust's Charles E. Smith Commercial Realty, which has owned the property since 1999, according to Arlington County records.
The move will allow the company to consolidate its current multi-structure headquarters in DC--with its main building being at 1231 25th St. NW--in one location. The Crystal City facility is also large enough to provide the news and information publisher, formerly known as the Bureau of National Affairs, with ample room for expansion. According to news released by the office of Virginia Gov. Mark R. Warner, BNA will spend $110 million on the relocation.

by Barbra Murray PRINCE WILLIAM COUNTY, VA-The US Government takes possession of a 116-acre campus with a 336,000-sf office building originally developed by IBM in 1984 in a $63 million trade. The US General Services Administration purchased the secure site--located in the 1,600-acre technology-centric Innovation@Prince William business park--from New York City-headquartered T-Rex Capital LLC, which has called the property its own since acquiring it from Lockheed Martin in 2002.
"It is clear that the commercial real estate market in certain areas of the country has reached its near-term peak," T-Rex CEO Thomas M. Mulroy says of the firm's recent disposition. "When the federal government expressed interest in acquiring this property several weeks ago, we felt it was an appropriate time to sell.”

Cable Company Expands by 41,600 SF
by Barbra Murray HERNDON, VA-Northridge I, the 124,000-sf office building at 13221 Woodland Park Rd., has added a new name to its tenant roster with Time Warner Cable's recent signing of a lease for about 41,600 sf of space. Until earlier this year, the entire six-story building was home to the headquarters of Sprint's Government Systems Division.
For Time Warner, the deal represents an expansion in the area, as the company already occupies space in the 132,000-sf Northridge II located next door at 13241 Woodland Park Rd. The details of Time Warner's lease agreement with property owner Equity Office were unavailable. However, space at Northridge I is marketed through Equity Office director of leasing Jackie Connell at approximately $25 per sf. Time Warner was represented by CB Richard Ellis's Meredith LaPier.
