Was misappropriating the fund had access to the accounts or the ability to access the checks on the accounts. That would tend to be somebody got to be involved in our organization somehow. Reporter its got to be a huge disappointment. What is your members to parents . Were tightening down our fiscal ship dramatically right now going forward.

Matt reporter the Council Members really have been getting an ear full on both sides here, earlier today, about 9 30 in the morning, this hallway was packed and if we take you inside now, this is many, many hours later and over 80 people have testified, it is still underway inside. Youre looking at live video now. This bill being discussed basically limits and regulates Short Term Rentals. But some say its simply not needed. Both sides are letting leaders know what they think. Its no secret its expensive to live in dc. Housing specially. For some they need Services Like air b and b. But others believe it is taking away from what could be longterm Affordable Housing units. Right now we have middle class families, residents from working class families who are afraid theyre being priced out in the district of colum job and i separated during the great recession. And i needed something to help pay the bills. Council member is leading the effort to limit Short Term Rentals. Especially for onlies who are essentially operating Properties Like hotels then theres the party houses where neighbors expect to live in a Residential Zone and never thought they we dont have to deal with the defacto party venue next door to them. Reporter air b and b agrees on some limits but says most business is helping homeowners rent a room in their house, maybe an english basement and nearby property and its the Hotel Industry worried about competition we have found as the company grown and more people are sharing homes, weve encountered folks that dont want air b and b to exist, they view a b and b and as competition to transitional bills.

Metros union released a statement asking if wmata will accept the responsibility from refusing a person legitimately sick from seeing a doctor. The union said its unaware of a sickout.

Well talk about the big warmup still on track with a first look at your forecast coming up next. St coming up next. You tonight the Sanctuary City Movement may now have new live in maryland after a federal court blocked the Trump Administrations efforts to stop it. District judge william or a used the president s own words to withhold funding from sanctuary cities that dont cooperate with u. S. Immigration Tom Fitzgerald is in takoma park maryland. Reporter sarah, the timing on all of interesting. This court order prevents the Trump Administration from blocking federal funds not going to communities which declare themselves sanctuary or not cooperating with federal Immigration Law. At the same time today, though, the secretary of the home land security department, john kelly announced the creation of a new office called voice. That stands for victims of immigration crime enforcement. Its roll to reach out to people the secretary says who are victims of criminals, criminalses he says should not have been allowed to enter the United States in the first place. Were giving people victimized by legal by illegal aliens for the first time a voice of their own. All crime is terrible but these victims as represented here are unique. And theyre all too often ignored. Theyre casualties of crimes that should never have taken place because the people who have been here in our country. Reporter now, the question moving forward from this point is this. How will this federal judges ruling affect this debate going on over sanctuary cities right now cities that ignore the enforcement of federal Immigration Law . In maryland, this month, the town of hyattsville passed a sanctuary city law. The city of rockville, its already considering one and it will hear a hearing on this in june. For decades at a park had a sanctuary city for years now. Now a pro Immigration Group says quite frankly that he sees no reason why more communities will not turn themselves into sanctuary cities. Here at takoma park the manager will tell you this is not over. She says shes takin steps in case this Court Decision is reversed and takoma park could lose federal fund make sure we have enough money so we can function. Im not going to think its over at this point, we keep our researches a little bit bigger in case we lose federal funds do you expect more commutes to move in a direction of becoming sanctuary cities absolutely. Thats what i expect and were working on that and initially people were youre working on that absolutely were encouraging and providing information to different local jurisdictions. Reporter in fact, that prediction you just heard from gustava torres sooner than you think, rockville is scheduled a hearing on their sanctuary bill. That will be held june 19th. For his part. The pled weighed in on this on twitter calling the decision ridiculous and well see you at the supreme court. Were live in takoma park, Tom Fitzgerald fox 5 local news. New tonight, how would you feel if you had to wear a bar code to track you while at work . Its theres a dc startup banking on that its the same Technology Used for ez passes but is it an invasion of privacy or innovative tool that helps companies . Alexandra limon takes a closer look. We all know sometimes Construction Projects can run behind schedule, but what if using a bar code could help you keep track of employees and keep projects on time . A dc company says theres an ap for that. That ap works handinhand with technology that provides data and analytics about who is and isnt present at a job site. The reader activateses the antenna. I wouldnt want to wear a bar code if that were reporter why i would like i like my employers to have trust in that im going to do my job and be wear i need to be and not have to track me a bar code do they have people sneaking out of work and thats why theyre putting this in . Is this the best way to deal with that. Reporter for some it may seem like big brother always watching the reality is the value of data quickly overwhelms any fear of the data being used improperly. Reporter but the company said it doesnt focus on tracking what each individual employee is doing every hour of the day theyre not here for other reasons, it could be for a permit or they wont have a trade permit so it would be illegal for them to be on job. Reporter he provides the big picture and works as a Communications Tool betwee contractors and sub contractors. Every construction job is required to have a list of people on the job, when talking about electricians, plumbers, that can mean tracking hundreds or thous and those people can change from one day to the next. So the creator of iris came up with the idea of automating the process with bar codes on hard hats we know when theyre here, what trades, what consistency, we look at that data in real time. Reporter company only been around since 15 and about a Dozen Companies are currently using Iris Technology on about 25 projects in the dc metro area. The projects include three buildings currently going up along south capitol street. Iris is working on expanding outside of the dc metro. The pitch is that the system impose safety, cost and efficiency the owners say so far, every single project has finished on time the reporting in the district, alexandra limon, fox 5 local news. I think a lot of people will be talking about that. That technology. Its definitely going to spread. You know that. Absolutely. Lets talk a lot about this because it is kind of cool out there. 69 degrees out here in dc. But going to hotter and hotter im curious. I went on a bike ride, felt more humid than the last couple days get ready to feel more coming into town. Are you ready for that . And here goes on our departing area of low pressure, thats why were waiting for temperatures to soar. Where its been sunny its close to 80 in cumberland. Heres the storm system, its a creepy crawling thing, taking forever to leave the area but it is now leaving. The sun is breaking out in dc and weve seen our temperature jump up to 70. I expect it might even stay at 70 or get a little warmer toward the 7 00 hour. Well keep an eye on that. I just saw manassas click up to 79. You see how warm it is when the sun finally gets out of town. 79 for cumberland, 72 for winchester, culpeper and fredericksberg are 75. But the flip side of the coin whoever is underneath t still you notice the temperature still 63 degrees in annapolis, 65 in baltimore, 64 in leonardtown but were back in the warm stuff tomorrow, that is not going to be held back. As we look down towards raleigh, the 81, theyre glad to be drying out. They had so much rain bucks county eight inches i believe out of the departing system where we got really in most areas less than an inch of rain. Its 76 in pittsburgh. 84 in columbus, and warm air is ready to make its move on dc back in town tomorrow and well be back in the 80s. For 7 00 i think the skies continue to clear, 70 looks doable. Maybe warmer in some spots. By 9 00, 68 degrees and by 11 00, 64, were watching for fog later tonight because as jim method. The humidity is little bit high and that may condense out into the form of a ground cloud later. It also is going to be much warmer tomorrow, change in seasons already. And summer is back in the forecast. Caitlin will have a look at your sevenday coming up in a few minutes. Jim and sarah thank you, sue.

Hey allergy muddlers are you one sneeze away from being voted out of the carpool . Try zyrtec® its starts working hard at hour one and works twice as hard when you take it again the next day. Stick with zyrtec® and muddle no more®. One of these days, were the victory. And a lot of people think this is the year, we got a couple good teams going on right now odds are, dont you think its time . The odds are there people say the odds are in our favor but something goes wrong. Were talking about wizards and the fans, its almost time for the biggest game of the season theres an early 6 00 tipoff. Brody logan is court side. This is one of the things you dont want to call eight must win but also after a game five you dont want to end up losing ground. Reporter no, it is the pivot told game. Like jay z said a week. They went on the road a place where they havent won during the regular season, they were just 19 and 22 on on the road. Then the hawks playing like howard was playing like he did three teams ago. Playing great, they the series, 22 and they said they need to focus on defense more. I want to show you something, bahime,i is hoping to return and this could be a good sign for the team to neglect some advantage that the hawks have. The series tipped off here ten days ago the opening of the series and the wizards used the home crowds to prevail in a close game. They closed out with a second win and a big fourth quarter. All of that home court shifted to atlanta for next two games. And in game four, the hawks hit key shots down the stretch to even the series, both teams, theyve held serve on home court. Now, the best of three. Were going for game five where were comfortable. So you know, must win game thats what we work all year for to have home advantage in the playoffs. So to get those wins that we need were a team the next man got to step up. We believe in that. We did it all season, and we got home court for a reason, an opportunity for us to go home, and come back here on friday. Part of problem for this team in atlanta, it was a lot of the guys standing around watching john wall or bradley beal focus on the ball. Part of the difference is the defense in the last game allowed hawks to shoot over 46 and jim and sarah, what this team wants to do force misses get the rebounds. But if youre not foresting the other team to miss you cant get out and miss, its all about defense trying to focus back on the defensive side of the ball so obviously were going to pay attention, we have the early tipoff and well see where it goes. Imagine, it was a sure thing a week ago so much. Reporter people were already thinking about easter conference pfinals matchup with labron an the next two series from now and nw its hope we get out. Coming up at 5 30, the trump team outlining the tax cut plan, ronica cleary working that.
