Council is returning to work after its summer break, and there is a lot to do.

Ward 6 D.C. Councilmember Charles Allen gets behind the mic to weigh in. Plus, Councilmember Allen explains why he believes the new football stadium needs a second Metro station, and we ask for his thoughts on the upcoming federal bribery trial of his council colleague, Trayon White.Sorting political fact from fiction, and having fun while we’re at it.
