Ten cases of cyclosporiasis were reported in Virginia between the start of the year and June 6, including four in Northern Virginia, according to data from the Virginia Department of Health. That’s compared to a year-to-date average of 6.6 cases statewide.
Falls Church leaders later this month will take a look at regulations related to clearing snow on sidewalks adjacent to commercial properties.
Like Arlington, Falls Church has ordinance requirements mandating that snow must be removed from sidewalks within a specified time after a winter event. Because of the intensity of a heavy snow and ice storm in January, which was followed by a deep freeze, adherence to the rules was even more spotty than usual this year.

D.C. Considers Robotaxis — A D.C. Council bill to allow commercial robotaxis drew hours of testimony Monday, with rideshare drivers warning of lost income and disability advocates citing newfound independence.

Abigail Spanberger (D) announced that Virginia closed fiscal year 2026 with a $936.3 million general fund surplus, as revenues grew 6.7% — or $2.09 billion — over the prior year.

Virginia Pushes Solar Discounts — Virginia is partnering with the nonprofit Switch Together to cut the cost of home solar arrays through a bulk-buying reverse auction, which Spanberger touted as a way to lower utility bills.
