DC Vote Effort Moves to Senate

The bill to give DC a permanent voting member of the House of Representatives is awaiting action in the U.S. Senate, having sailed through the House on April 19 by a bipartisan vote of 241-177, reports Ann Hoffman. “Senate supporters are working on a new draft of the bill to be introduced in the near future,” Hoffman tells Union City. “It’s not too early to ask Senators or their staff if they support democracy for DC.” Report what you learn Hoffman at annfromdc@aol.com and stay tuned to Union Cities for up-to-the-minute news on the Senate effort.
