Mayor's Top Advisor Abruptly Resigns, Plus a New Budget, and E-Bikes

There’s never been a D.C. mayoral aide quite so powerful as John Falcicchio. And all of a sudden, he’s gone — departed amid scandal. Alex Koma, Loose Lips columnist from Washington City Paper, is here to walk us through what it means. Also, we’ll be talking about the wonky nature of the new city budget, and Lead Producer Priyanka Tilve explains the future of ebikes in the District. We couldn’t do our news roundups without the great local reporting in the area: Alex Koma’s Loose Lips column about John Falcicchio’s departure. Check out the Mayor’s budget for FY 2024 here. ABC7 explains gives you everything you need to know about the new e-bikes. Want some more DC news? Then make sure to sign up for our morning newsletter Hey DC.
