D.C. passes dedicated funding for WMATA...

...well, sort of. D.C. will dedicate a portion of its sales tax to fund the system, but only if Maryland and Virginia also enact dedicated funding plans.

The article says "0.5 percent of city sales tax revenue," which is ambiguous; no word in there on how much this would amount to. Also, the Post headline ("D.C. is first to officially dedicate cash to Metro") might be misleading; if I recall correctly, there is a small portion of gas taxes in Northern Virginia that is dedicated to Metro.
