D.C. spending bill delayed indefinitely E-mail

Washington Post reporter Ben Pershing reported on July 19, 2011 that the House of Representatives has postponed consideration of the District of Columbia 2012 budget because it is contained in a larger appropriations bill that includes a controversial provision regarding the mandate to buy health insurance in the Affordable Care Act (President Obama's health care act).  The District portion of bill includes a 10% cut in federal funds to D.C. and a ban on using local D.C. tax funds for abortion services for low-income District women. There is also a fear that House Republicans will try to add additional D.C. budget riders.  With the 2012 fiscal year starting October 1, 2011, time for Congressional action on the D.C. budget is getting short.

House Appropriations Committee Acts on D.C. Budget E-mail

On June 23, 2011, the House Appropriations Committee marked up the fiscal year 2012 District of Columbia budget and reported it to the full House for consideration.  The D.C. budget bill was part of the budget bill making appropriations for the financial services agencies and other general government expenses.  Votes in the Committee were largely along party lines and Republicans defeated an attempt by Democratic legislators to remove the ban on local government funded abortion services for low income women.

House Appropriations Subcommittee acts on D.C.'s 2012 budget E-mail

Washington Post reporter Ben Pershing wrote about the D.C. appropriations bill for fiscal year 2012 that was approved by a House Appropriations Subcommittee on June 16, 2011.  The bill bans the District government from spending Federal AND D.C. tax money on abortion services for the city's low income women.  It also prohibits the District from using Federal funds for local needle exchange and medical marijuana programs.  There is a good possibility of more riders being added by the full Committee which marks the bill up next.

Cheh, others arrested during Capitol Hill protest E-mail

Washington Post reporter Tim Craig reports on the May 4, 2011 demonstration lead by D.C. Council Member Mary Cheh in which the demonstrators blocked Constitution Avenue on Capital Hill for a short time to protest the House of Representatives' vote to permanently ban the District Government's use of D.C. tax money to fund abortion services for low-income D.C. residents.

Colby King on Budget Competence and Bluster E-mail

In the May 27, 2011 edition of  The Washington Post, columnist Colbert King compared the budget competence of the U.S. Congress and the D.C. Council.  He wrote: "At one end of Pennsylvania Avenue, visitors could witness D.C. Council members with competing interests come together in the John A. Wilson Building and, working collaboratively, unanimously fashion a plan that eliminated a $322 million deficit with a combination of budget cuts and tax increases. Mayor Vincent C. Gray has announced he will sign the bill. The next step is congressional approval.

In contrast, visitors at the other end of the avenue were treated to the sight of stubborn and undisciplined wusses on Capitol Hill engaging in the equivalent of a legislative food fight even with a $14.3 trillion national debt looming over their heads. This week, the Congress of the United States failed miserably to do anything about the growing federal deficit.

The District deserves to have budget autonomy if for no other reason than to avoid association with that craven Congress."

In other words, what D.C. really needs is statehood.  Then Congress could only do to D.C. what it is willing and legally able to do to all states.
