House pushes World War I Memorial on fast track passage
The House approved a memorial bill 400 to 15 to begin construction expeditiously and bar reviews, with the Senate considering a companion measure. The project, placed between the Lincoln and Washington Monuments, has sparked debate since 1995 over its impact on the National Mall. Meanwhile York Mayor Charlie Robertson, facing murder charges from 1969 race riot, warned he will surrender as he seeks a third term. Five white men are charged in the killing of Lillie Belle Allen, 27, during that riot era.
