  • The recent arrests of several teenagers for carjacking has led to a messy round of finger-pointing among Mayor Muriel Bowser, superior court judges, and Attorney General Brian Schwalb over who’s really at fault for the release of one of the teens on previous charges. Bowser apparently confused the case involving the death of a 16-year-old girl with the shooting of a 13-year-old boy in some of her public comments, amping up tensions. [Post, NBC Washington]
  • Schwalb recently secured a $450,000 settlement with personal training company UP Fitness in a wage theft case. [Informer]
  • D.C.’s tax collectors have designated a prominent downtown office building as vacant after its main tenant moved out, meaning its owners (the influential firm EastBanc) now owe millions more in property taxes. The District “is just wrong on this issue,” says EastBanc CEO Anthony Lanier. [WBJ]
