Washington Post posted:

A Virginia Senate bill would withhold at least $166 million pledged to Metro unless the transit system adds the name of Capital One bank to the McLean rail station.

The legislation would rename the Silver Line station as �McLean-Capital One Hall,� a reference to a performance venue the bank is building a quarter-mile from the site. Sen. Janet D. Howell (D-Fairfax) said she inserted the provision in transportation funding legislation because the bank did not like being �squeezed for money.�

She said Metro was unfairly pressuring the bank to pay for the naming rights rather than granting them free.

The legislative tussle rose from Metro�s newfound interest in selling naming rights to private companies for its stations. For years, the transit system has resisted doing so, viewing stations as landmarks with names that should match their surrounding neighborhoods.

The coronavirus pandemic�s crushing economic effect has prompted Metro to reconsider that policy. Naming rights potentially could bring it millions at a time when the transit agency is facing declining revenue amid a historic drop in ridership.

As Metro was rethinking the policy, Tysons-based Capital One expressed interest in adding the name of its new theater to the McLean station. The bank offered to pay the costs associated with changing signage and got the Fairfax County Board of Supervisors on board. The county then asked Metro, which ultimately makes naming decisions. The transit agency refused. Instead, it offered to sell the naming rights to the Fortune 100 company.

That did not sit well with Howell, chairwoman of the powerful Senate Finance and Appropriations Committee. She tucked the ultimatum into a massive state budget bill: Change the name free, or lose out on funds the state provides to local governments via the Northern Virginia Transportation Commission (NVTC) so the jurisdictions can make annual contributions to Metro�s budget.

For the next fiscal year, the state is estimated to provide between $166 million and $174 million to Metro by that route, according to the NVTC and Metro board members.

Howell, whose district includes Capital One Tower and the McLean station, accused Metro of seeking to extract money from the company after it built a venue to serve the public � a venue big enough that it deserves its name on the Metro station nearby, she said. �Capital One is putting in a community theater, and so letting the public know where to get off the Metro would be very helpful for that,� Howell said. �And the [Fairfax County] Board of Supervisors had also approved it. So this was a last-minute effort by [Metro] to just extract money, and I wanted to put a stop to it.�

One of the nation�s 10 largest banks, Capital One occupies the 470-foot Capital One Tower � the tallest occupied building in the Washington metro area. The company employs more than 9,000 people in the region and earned $28.5 billion in revenue last year.

The new 1,600-seat Capital One Hall performance center on the company�s campus will host symphonies, plays, concerts and other major events intended to draw people from across the region. The $120 million facility is expected to open this fall.

�As long as [the name change] is something that�s not a profitmaking thing but of public value, a public accommodation that will be used by our people, that�s okay,� said Sen. David W. Marsden (D-Fairfax), a member of the finance panel�s transportation subcommittee, which approved the amendment.

While Metro receives funding from Virginia, Maryland and the District, it operates independently, with a board that includes representatives of each of the jurisdictions and the federal government. Howell�s amendment appears to threaten Metro�s right to name its own stations and negotiate its own agreements with private companies.

Competing versions of the budget bill that include the renaming stipulation are being debated by Virginia legislators, who are working out differences over school funding, restarting in-school instruction and other issues in a special session.

Metro said its governing board has not decided what it will do if Virginia�s share of capital funding is held up by the Senate�s demands. Capital One says it is staying away from the debate.

Marsden said he did not know much about the amendment, which slid through the transportation subcommittee virtually unnoticed with no discussion. But he had an explanation.

�It�s politics,� Marsden said.

I spent years looking for a truly great fried chicken sandwich in the Cincinnati area before finally giving up and trying to make one myself. I nailed it on maybe the second try. In retrospect I feel kind of stupid about it now.

Hey what if we dusted off this argument by John C Calhoun to justify illegally imprisoning people? I mean he was raked over the colts for it in literally the 1850s but I'm sure it'll pass muster today.
