RFK Stadium provision, Baltimore Key Bridge funding included in temporary government funding bill

Leaders around the D.C. region are celebrating a stopgap spending bill that would keep the government funded into March, but they’re doing it for reasons beyond averting a government shutdown.

Congress unveiled the multibillion dollar funding bill Tuesday night, and it addresses two items that are top priorities for officials in the area. The first is a provision that would transfer the land of the old RFK Stadium from the federal government to the District of Columbia. The second is full federal funding to rebuild Baltimore’s Francis Scott Key Bridge.

DC’s stadium bill moves forward

The stadium provision is a significant victory for the Washington Commanders and the NFL after controlling owner Josh Harris and Commissioner Roger Goodell lobbied lawmakers on Capitol Hill on the D.C. Robert F. Kennedy Memorial Stadium Campus Revitalization Act earlier this month.

D.C. Mayor Muriel Bowser called it a “giant step forward” to unlocking the site’s potential.

“As a city, we have worked for years to get control of the RFK campus,” Bowser said in a statement Tuesday night. “We’re celebrating this moment, and we’re looking to the future of a field of possibilities on the banks of the Anacostia.”

One possibility is obviously a football stadium.

The Commanders are considering places in D.C., Maryland and Virginia to build a stadium in the coming years. The team’s lease at Northwest Stadium in Landover, Maryland, runs through 2027, and Harris called 2030 a “reasonable target” for a new one.

The team played at RFK Stadium two miles east of the Capitol from 1961-96 before moving to Maryland. Harris and several co-owners, including Mitch Rales and Mark Ein, grew up as Washington football fans during that era, which included the glory days of three Super Bowl championships from 1982-91.

Rebuilding the Key Bridge

While Bowser celebrated the RFK site provision’s inclusion in the spending bill, Maryland leaders celebrated funding for the rebuilding of the Key Bridge, which collapsed in March.

Reconstruction costs are estimated at around $2 billion and a total of about $100 billion in disaster funding is included in the stopgap spending bill.

“This has been our goal ever since that awful day the bridge collapsed. Now we need to get it passed before government funding expires this weekend,” Maryland Sen. Chris Van Hollen said in a post on social media Tuesday night.

The measure, which will keep the federal government funded through March 14, would prevent a partial government shutdown set to begin after midnight Friday.

The Associated Press contributed to this report.

Most Premature Baby Ever Born in Ireland Heads Home to Spend Christmas With Family

A baby girl, born at 26 weeks gestation and believed to be one of the tiniest surviving premature baby born in Ireland, makes it home for her first Christmas with her parents.

Little Raina Gilmore surprised her parents when she was delivered via Caesarean section at just 26 weeks in June. Described as a “little miracle” by her parents, Rachel and Marcus Gilmore, Raina weighed just 378g when she was born – barely bigger than a Toblerone. Previously, the smallest surviving premature baby born in Ireland weighed 390g at birth.

Her parents said that she was only the size of a baby of 20 weeks gestation at her birth and were concerned as she lost precious weight in the first few days. Her dad described the many tests and medical procedures that his little fighter had to endure, from lumbar punctures to battling sepsis. The couple, from Ballyclare, County Antrim, Ireland were told that Raina only had about a 10% chance of survival.

But in November, when Raina started making significant progress, her parents were hopeful that she would make it home for Christmas, defying all expectations. Her mum described the feeling as “surreal”, remarking that “the day felt like it was so out of reach for so long”.

With their little record-breaking girl at home for the festive period, mum, Rachel, said enthusiastically that “having her home is the best Christmas present you could ever ask for”.

Survival rates for premature babies improving

A 2008 study looking at survival rates for a neonatal intensive care unit in London found that neonatal survival rates at 22 and 23 weeks gestation had improved over time. In 1981-85, no babies who were born at these gestational ages survived to discharge. However, by 1986-90, 19% did and this increased to 54% in the period 1996-2000.

In the decade to 2019 alone, the survival rate for extremely premature babies born at 23 weeks doubled, prompting new guidance from the British Association of Perinatal Medicine (BAPM) that enables doctors to intervene to save premature babies from 22 weeks gestation. The previous clinical guidance, drafted in 2008, set the standard that babies who were born before 23 weeks gestation should not be resuscitated.

Spokesperson for Right to Life UK, Catherine Robinson, said “It’s so heartwarming to hear that little Raina made it home for Christmas to celebrate with her parents. Her survival is such a testament to the amazing advances in technology that mean even the smallest of babies born months early can defy the odds. We wish Raina and her parents a joyful celebration over the festive period and applaud the wonderful work of the medical professionals who helped ensure the Gilmores had the best Christmas present”.
