Now is the time for all D.C. residents to speak up. I joined 16 of D.C.'s former elected officials to speak out against Trump's abuse of his powers under D.C.'s Home Rule Act. This authoritarian move needs to be met with protest. I'll continue to work with my colleagues to stop this power grab.

I’m still only in Title II but this is perhaps the stupidest budget proposal I’ve ever seen: the District would license more gambling establishments and yet *lose more money* because the gambling would generate no certified revenue. It will cost DC half a million bucks per year.
Want to gamble on poker, blackjack or bingo in DC? Bowser's including rules allowing these table games (and commercial bingo parlors) in the budget.
