>> Late last week D.C. released yet another version of rules that would regulate the city’s food truck, and as the Examiner reports, both brick-and-mortar restaurants and the food trucks themselves are asking for more specifics. At issue are regulations as to exactly where—and how many—food trucks can vend; food truck operators want more details on exactly how many parking spaces will be set aside in designated areas. Traditional restaurants similarly want more clarity, which will have to be found by the D.C. Council, which will take up the rules next.

>> A Maryland resident died from rabies, writes WTOP, the first such case in the state since 1976. The Department of Health and Mental Hygiene didn’t release any further information on the individual or the circumstances surrounding their death, but rabies-related deaths are very rare across the country. Recently a rabid fox bit a woman in Mt. Pleasant and a rabid raccoon attacked a woman jogging on the C&O Canal towpath.

>> While the Newtown massacre spurred action on gun violence, residents of one Northeast D.C. neighborhood are frustrated that the recurring killings they deal with don’t attract the same attention, reports the Post. Capitol View is located in a police district where last year 19 people were killed and 55 injured; the population is largely black and poor.
