One of the most popular perks for Washington D.C.'s power players is coming to an end, Fox News has learned. After June 30, members of Congress, Supreme Court justices and certain diplomats will no longer be able to park in the special lot set aside for them at Reagan National Airport, just across the Potomac River from the Capitol. Lawmakers' special access to Reagan National was a key argument for keeping the airport open after the Sept. 11, 2001 terror attacks, when some argued it should be closed because of its close proximity to the nation's capital. The airport is closing the lot as part of a $1 billion expansion project aimed at streamlining the movement of passengers through its terminals. However, lawmakers, justices and diplomats will not have to pay for parking — provided they remember to show their government ID to the garage's cashier.
