It’ll be another sweltering day in D.C., with temperatures expected to top 93 degrees.

LEADING THE MORNING NEWS:

  • The D.C. Council voted yesterday on the District’s fiscal year 2020 budget. It includes $53 million for the modernization of Banneker High School, money for public housing repairs, and funds United Medical Center with a $22 million subsidy. Read more about what it includes here.

  • At least 20 people were shot across D.C. since Friday, NBC4 reports. On Tuesday, police said they believe that two of the shootings were related. Chief Peter Newsham says that the violence “will not be the new normal,” and that anyone who suggests it is “doesn’t understand the resiliency of Washington D.C.”

  • A group of advisory neighborhood commissioners have asked the Metro board to publish the results of its ethics investigation into Ward 2 Councilmember Jack Evans, who chairs the body and has said he will not seek reelection when his term ends.

  • How’d the first rush hour of Metro’s Blue and Yellow Line shutdown go? For Virginians, it was apparently a mixed bag.
