Resolution expected on impasse over Metro seat, Va. transit funding
Virginia Gov. Bob McDonnell's office and the Northern Virginia Transportation Commission have been sparring for more than a year over who gets the authority to fill Virginia's four seats on Metro's 16-seat board of directors.

An impasse over a seat on Metro’s board of directors is slated to be resolved Monday morning, with Virginia’s governor finally winning a seat after more than a year of trying.

The resolution also will lead to Northern Virginia transit agencies receiving more than $20 million that was held hostage during the fight.
