AP News: Talks on luring NHL’s Washington Capitals and NBA’s Washington Wizards to Virginia are over

Negotiations to lure the NHL’s Washington Capitals and NBA’s Washington Wizards to northern Virginia have “ended” and the proposal to create a development district with a new arena for the teams “will not move forward,” the city of Alexandria said in a statement Wednesday.

Virginia’s House speaker also confirmed he’d been told that Ted Leonsis, majority owner of the teams, is no longer considering a deal to relocate them from the District of Columbia.

Such a waste of money by Muriel Bowser, her latest corporate giveaway in a series now. Total scam by the team owner to pit jurisdictions against one another in a race to the bottom as to who can offer him the greatest bribe. It's Amazon HQ2 all over again.

Good. Let someone else pay the taxes.
