Happy Tuesday. Enjoy these mild fall days while they last—a group of private sector forecasters predicts a snowier than usual winter this year.

LEADING THE MORNING NEWS:

  • Activists are now calling for a public referendum on a vote that would repeal the D.C. Council’s repeal of a referendum to abolish the tipped minimum wage. (You still with me?) Put another way: Supporters of Initiative 77 would very much like for their initial vote to stick, so they’re asking for another shot to keep it around.

  • Education officials announced late last week that the city will move Benjamin Banneker Academic High School to the site of now-vacant Shaw Junior High School, but not all parents and neighbors are happy with the decision.

  • Metro’s General Manager Paul Wiedefeld released his proposed budget for the new fiscal year on Monday, and it includes a number of asks that will make some folks very happy. To start: increasing rush hour service in both the mornings and evenings, a flat $2 fare for weekend rides, increasing the number of cars per train to eight, reducing the cost of unlimited bus and rail passes, and increasing service to suburban stations around the DMV.

  • The District will distribute nearly $1 million in federal grant dollars to local religious organizations in order to help them increase security, Mayor Muriel Bowser announced yesterday.
