Governor Glenn Youngkin hasn’t given up yet on a new entertainment district in Northern Virginia that would give the Washington Wizards and Capitals a new home in the commonwealth – even though he says union leaders have turned against it.

In a release, the governor said union bosses “backtracked” on months of negotiations that would have given unionized workers a “substantial role” in building the two-billion-dollar district near Alexandria.

Youngkin vowed to keep pushing, saying that unreasonable union demands will not knock the project off track.

But it may have to move forward without taxpayer help: a Senate committee has been hostile over a plan that would issue government bonds to offset unpaid construction costs.
