Let’s review in chronological detail how the Nats’ victory is vindication for a generation of oft-pummeled D.C. baseball fans. (Also, we have some nice parade photos for you.)

THE NEWS:

Since Monday night, there’s been non-stop Evans talk. 

Meanwhile bills are flying at the Wilson building. Here’s a recap: 

On Tuesday, the Council unanimously passed a bill that expands the rights of sexual assault survivors. Essentially, the mayor-supported bill secures more advocacy care at the hospital and ensures counselors are trauma-informed and trained. 

On Wednesday, the business and economic development committee held a notable hearing for small business owners who are struggling to get by financially. Dozens of residents testified to needing more city support to prevent chain store takeovers and job losses.     

In between calls for Evans’ resignation—and so far, nine councilmembers have asked the longest-serving member to resign—lawmakers are also trying to prevent another ethics scandal. Evans comes under fire for using his public position to score deals for his private consulting firm. Lawmakers, who earn roughly $140,000 annually, can hold a separate job. Now, two bills, introduced by Ward 1 Councilmember Brianne Nadeau and Ward 5 Councilmember Kenyan McDuffie, respectively, would ban councilmembers from having second jobs. 

Nadeau’s bill, introduced in the spring, doesn’t include salary increases and makes an exception for teaching positions. Ward 3 Councilmember Mary Cheh is a law professor at The George Washington University. McDuffie’s bill, which was introduced Wednesday, calls for a salary rate $25,000 less than the Council chairman. Chairman Phil Mendelson makes roughly $210,000 annually. —Amanda Michelle Gomez (tips? Email agomez@washingtoncitypaper.com)
