hi, scott. scott: the white house sent out an e-mail today acknowledging that is a legitimate challenge. also in the same e-mail saying that, "we are not slowing down." we will own the finish line. in other words there is a lot to be done. whether or not they can do that with or without congress is the big question. >> the president of the united states. scott: if there is one thing to expect tonight the white house says a big picture vision. not just an annual to-do list. but how can the president use the final "state of the union" to actually unify in a town often dreamed broken? how can the president do anything where people say we are still seeing progress and it's not divisive? >> we focus on the areas we agree. this is harder to find the areas these days. >> the president is hopeful there is middle ground on two top 2016 priinal justice reform and international trade agreements. >> those are areas we can work with the democrats and the republicans to do something good for the country.

>> though hardly a sure thing. the president some believe like he has with the gun control immigration and the cuban relations may resort to more executive action. >> they are unfortunate. the expansion of the presidential power is a bipartisan effort. you can't blame president obama. he is taking to the next level. >> president george w. bush issued 300 in his two terms in office. obama isn't far behind. he is at 230 so far. hinting at even more. >> the president has circumvented the constitutional framework laid out. these should be coming to the congress and the people's house to be voted on. that hasn't happened. that is a frustration. scott: on capitol hill, no grand statement goes withou response. after the speech we will hear from nikki haley south carolina governor. she is chosen to deliver the republican let's say criticism we can only assume of what the president lays out in the

"state of the union" tonight. alison leon? alison: thank you. we will let you know. abc7 news will carry the speech live tonight at 9:00. then you can tune in the sister station newschannel8 where we have local analysis and the reaction from the representatives in congress. leon: a followup story to a story you saw first on abc7. six weeks after we revealed several montgomery county schools had radon levels above the e.p.a. recommended limit we are getting the similar testing levels from the prince george county school. kevin lewis broke the story for us. what have you found out this time? kevin: the numbers are higher. this has every test they have completed and the main issue is it detected high levels of radon decades ago at a number of schools including this one. but for some reason never fixed the problem. leaf through the document and

you will find 30 prince county public schools with potentially deadly amounts of radon. no level should be above four but there are levels of 1.4. carmondy hill had a 47.4. avalon in fort washington landed 109. that is 27 times the e.p.a. threshold. >> i know the dangers. kevin: she had two granddaughters in prince george's county and want to know why the school leaders didn't get rid of the radon discovered now more than 20 years ago. >> that is dangerous. a dangerous level. it would scare me. for my health. i know definitely for the kids. not a good thing. kevin: ironically today county executive sent this e-mail to residents to urge them to have homes tested for radon. after all according to the e.p.a. radon is the second leading cause of lung cancer

in the u.s. >> i guess it should adjust the matter and do something about it. even talk with the environmental protection agency. see if somebody would come in and do something. correct the problem. kevin: to that point, prince george's county public school says it launched a new system wide test across the school district for radon. the goal of completing every school by april. you imagine if there is a need for remediation this time around they'd do it. we will stay on top of the story. alison: thank you so much. well d.c. fire and e.m.s. is now racing to close a loophole the d.c. council thought it closed months ago that allowed a fire lieutenant to retire before facing discipline for mistakes in a case where a child died. this is the second time that exact scenario has played out. our d.c. bureau chief sam ford is in northwest d.c. how did the loophole stay

open? sam: well, alison this is a situation like you passed a law to tell me to do something and i don't do it because i said well, i forgot. we are standing in front of the engine 20 fire house where a fire lieutenant facing disciplinary charges as you mentioned from last march involving the death of a toddler filed papers last month to retire and it appears he will be able to do it even though the council passed a law to prevent that. last march, 18-year-old the toddler -- 18-month-old toddler died after choking on a grape. it took 20 minutes to respond when another engine was closer. the fire lieutenant admitted he knew about the call but did not respond because he wasn't dispatched. this came after cecil mills in northeast died from a heart attack across from a fire house. the fire lieutenant colleen davis failed to face disciplinary action but retired before it could be carried out. the council passed a law to

stop that but the fire department neglected to put in the regulations. so -- >> if we could have written the legislation better and said you can't retire when you are under the allegation or suspicion. but instead what we did which was reasonable to say well the fire and the e.m.s. or the mayor has to implement some rules. sam: the fire department is saying it will take a month to implement that law that was passed by the council that was supposed to have taken effect basically a year ago. coming up on "abc7 news at 6:00" -- we will hear from the mayor and i ask the council chairman the question. how many other laws have been passed that have not been implemented? reporting live in northwest washington sam ford abc7 news. leon: all right. you got it sam. still ahead at 5:00, what is fueling the speculation that the president obama change of address when he leaves the white house won't require a long move. >> plus another surge in the powerball jackpot.
