Ian Shapira

MCAULIFFE BRUSHES OFF SENATE DEFEAT: ‘IT WASN’T GOING TO MAKE A DIFFERENCE’ 
Laura Vozzella
RICHMOND — Gov. Terry McAuliffe on Thursday brushed off Democrats’ failure to win the state Senate, noting that the GOP-dominated House can block his agenda no matter who controls the upper chamber.“I wanted to win the Senate. I gave it all I have,” he said. “But at the end of the day, you know, it wasn’t going to make a difference really one way or the other. I still have only 34 Democrats in the House of Delegates.”Read full article &gt;&gt; [

Luz Lazo
Metro says it will lift speed restrictions and resume normal Orange and Silver line service to Stadium-Armory on Monday, weeks after a fire damaged an electrical power facility.The changes that go into effect Monday will bring “near normal” service to the Stadium-Armory area on the Orange, Blue and Silver lines, Metro said Thursday. But because the recovery effort is not complete at the power substation, Metro said it will continue to run Orange and Silver Line trains every eight minutes instead of the normal six-minute intervals. Blue line trains run at 12-minute intervals.Read full article &gt;&gt; [

Pilot Michael Rosenberg, 66, and passengers David Hartman, 52, and Chijioke Ogbuka, 31, also were killed.Read full article &gt;&gt; [
