An effort to fight fraud and provide parking spots for the disabled in the district is being called a disaster. D. C. Council members dont know what to do with the red top meters and the program has now cost taxpayers 815,000. Fox 5s matt ackland has details. Reporter it was alleged fraud of the free disabled parking policy uncovered by fox 5 and vdot which prompted the red top meter program, but in a tied vote tuesday night about a year after those red tops went up the program is still on hold. I was disappointed because i think that the bill we put together actually was very, very good. Reporter Council Member mary cheh is frustrated after working with the disabled community to put together a plan which would make 10 of all parking spots red topped. Her bill would have likely stopped the fraud by making all pay to park. What they kept saying is accessibility is the key thing. We want to be treated equally. We with the to have access we want to have access and were willing to pay for parking. Reporter Council Member Muriel Bowser helped block chehs red top program after hearing from her constitute wents. Paying to park was an issue constituents. Paying to park was an issue. I have a lot of Senior Citizens and i just know theyll abandon shopping in the district and go to maryland where parking is more predictable. Reporter cheh didnt mention names but thought the politics of making all pay to park may have killed her bill. I think we were also caught up in the politics now of maybe some members wanting to be mayor or whatever they want to be because i even had one office, their staff, said we agree that this is good policy, but its bad politics. Reporter so the question what comes now . The useless 450 red tops already in place and 1,500 more in storage will just sit there until the council can come up with a plan that works. Im not sure what the next step is. Reporter vdot says dont open. Somehow theyll put to use those nearly 2,000 red tops in the future even if they have to paint over the red. Matt ackland, fox 5 news. Former d. C. Council chairman kwame browns brother is now charged with the same kind of crime that forced brown to resign. Shea brown is faces Bank Fraud Charges accused of claiming 35,000 on a morning loan request. He will plead guilty. He was convicted of a similar crime in 1995. Kwame brown also pled guilty to lying about his income on bank loan applications. It was a phone call that perked up ears across the capital tonight as we get word president obama and House Speaker john boehner spoke by phone later today, no word what was discussed as the two men try to strike a deal from sending the country over the so called fiscal cliff. Fox 5s bob barnard with the latest development. Perhaps the phone call is a sign the two sides are trying to kick start negotiations on a tax and spending plan before mandatory cuts in Government Spending and tax increase goes into effect in less than a month. Maryland congressman Chris Van Hollen says he thinks theres only a 50 50 chance a compromise will be reached by the looming end of the year deadline. I hope we can come together. Its important to avoid the fiscal cliff. Its also important to do it the right way. Doing it the right way obviously depends who youre speaking to. I asked maryland democrat Chris Van Hollen, Ranking Member on the house budget committee, what happens if the white house and republicans in congress cannot reach a deal by january 1st . It doesnt necessarily mean january 2nd, you know, the world falls apart, brought it does mean is if you go into january, you know, deeply into january without having resolved these issues, taxes will go up across the board on everybody. Thats a big tax increase. And deep across the board spending cuts in defense and other areas of the federal government. If you look at the plans that the white house has talked about thus far, they couldnt pass either house of the congress. President Barack Obama Says he will not sign a bill without a tax increase on incomes over 250,000. He met with a roomful of ceos in washington today. I know that many of you have come down here to try to see is there a way that we can break through the logjam and go ahead and get things done . And im here to tell you that nobody wants to get this done more than me. And yet House Speaker john boehner says the president has not responded to republicans latest proposal. That offer included significant spending cuts and reforms and it include additional revenue. Frankly, it was the balanced approach that the president s has been asking for. Perhaps the Boehner Obama phone call late today has moved things along. Theres lots of activity looking at opposites. What we dont have right now be on options. What we dont have right now obviously is a meeting of the minds. This will require a difficult compromise on all sides to get the job done. Speaker boehner sent house members home today for the rest of the week keeping negotiators in case the meeting with the president calls for more movement. Lets bring in fox 5 political analyst mark plotkin to talk a little bit more about this. Mark, are both sides do you think making a valid tempt or is it looking more and more like were attempt or is it looking more and more like were going over the cliff . I have no way of knowing. I will say what was left out of bobs excellent report. He referred to this meeting with ceos of the Business Roundtable and said look, the debt ceiling has to be automatic. We cant go through that again separate it. Has to be included in the plan and the republicans have no reason to go along with that. So in some way the president is raising the ante by putting another pocketer in which could complicate things factor in which could complicate things. Lets talk about the democratic side of the race for virginias governor. The virginia governors race is november of next year. Bob mcdonnell cannot succeed himself. He can wait four years and come back. Well talk about that later, but tom periello who served one term from charlottesville and was defeated, many people felt he could contest Terry Mcauliffe in a democratic primary. Today he told people hes not going to run. So mcauliffe has a clear path in that june democratic primary and keel face ken cuccinelli. There are two hell face ken cuccinelli. There are two other names, one gongorist large the best selling author one john grisham, the best selling author, but right now it looks like it will be mcauliffe and cuccinelli. You cant get two different people. Lets talk about Bob Mcdonnell and hes a lame duck now. Rumor is hes got higher aspirations. Well, hes got nothing to do. Hes out. Hes out. If romney had won, he was an early supporter, he would probably have been in the cabinet, maybe even attorney general, but now there were two reports and most prominent being in the wall street journal today that he went up to sheldon madison. Remember him, the guy with the real deep pockets who gave over 50 million to gingrich and romney and introduced himself and told him of his availability, i guess, for president. Democrats are very please because they think well, i guess hes not going to run against mark warner in 2014 and over in maryland, lets not leave out maryland, i talked to one high ranging politician who doesnt want to be quote ranking politician who doesnt want to be quoted who says Martin Omalley who is also term limited and in two terms when he gets out has checked out meaning he stops being governor, hes running for president. So were either blessed or cursed by the fact that we have two well known household names who have done it with their own states and want to go national. Fox 5 political analyst mark plotkin tonight. Coming up next a local lawmaker issuing a challenge ahead of this weekends redskins ravens game. And he is only rookie, but rg3 memorabilia is already on its way to the nfl hall of fame. Well tell you why straight ahead tonight. If you have a story idea we should look into, call us 202 8953000 or send us an email fox5tips wttg. Com.  its the battle of the beltways this weekend and the ravens redskins rivalry has already inspired a county from one local lawmaker to another. If somehow you somehow sneak a victory, which i cant imagine happening even though you got lucky this past week against the giants, i will proudly wear an rg3 jersey for an entire day, but when we come down to fedex field and beat you this sunday, you will take my favorite jersey, and you will wear it in the office on a purple friday. We will make a purple friday in prince georges county. Baker has yet to formally accept, but from his twitter page it appears he will and possibly even up the ante. Oh, very interesting. Good luck getting your hands on one of those griffin jerseys. Thats the whole reason hes doing it. He just want an rg3 engineers. I its the hottest selling jersey its the hottest selling jersey in the nfl right now. Today is a big moment for rg3. Hes actually entering the hall of fame as a rookie or hes getting a foot in the door, a cleat and jurys as well. Griffins monday Night Performance against the giant, he broke the rookie quarterback rushing. He has 714 rushing yards on the season surpassing cam newtons mark from just a year ago. Today a representative from the pro football hall of fame collected griffins game worn jersey. Hes got the gloves there, looks like evidence. Hes taking it back to canton, ohio. Last night griffin showed up at the verizon have to watch the wizards beat the heat saying he was the good luck charm for the wiz. He got a front row seat and a standing ovation from a very appreciative fan base. You never go somewhere expecting people to chant your name or at least i never have. I dont know about you guys. [ laughter ] so, you know, you walk into those events and thats those guys time to shine and i was extremely proud of the way they played. You got to defending nba champs in your house and you beat them. That was fun to watch and to me its just humbling to have the fans, whether its football, basketball fans chanting or cheering for you. That means youre really doing something for the city. You got to love his humility. When he walked into the stadium or the rein, they were trailing and arena, they were trailing and moments later they took the lead and led the next three quarters. And they were chanting rg3 in the basketball game. A l
