Norton to Host Press Conference With Mayor Bowser and National Organizations to Defend D.C. Home Rule
The office of Congresswoman
With
Seven riders were included in the House-passed fiscal year 2019 D.C. Appropriations bill: prohibiting D.C. from using its local funds on abortions for low-income women, on commercializing recreational marijuana, on carrying out the Reproductive Health Non-Discrimination Act, on carrying out D.C.'s health insurance mandate law, and on seizing assets to enforce the insurance mandate tax penalty, as well as repealing the Death with Dignity Act, and repealing the Local Budget Autonomy Act. Norton kept all but the abortion and marijuana riders out of the enacted fiscal year 2019 D.C. Appropriations bill.
"We are doing well in moving toward statehood in the House, but, fortunately, we are also entitled under the Home Rule Act to local control of our local budget," Norton said. "We will be pressing for our full rights on every front available to us."
