Eleanor Holmes Norton: “My Democratic colleagues and I will continue to stand up for Title VII and all American workers.”

In my long career representing D.C. residents in Congress, I have rarely seen a bill as unreasonable and patronizing to the more than 700,000 people who live in the nation’s capital as this one.

I have urged the administration to remove these troops immediately.

I am outraged at the number and scope of anti-D.C. home rule riders in the bill released today.

Because there is no limit on how long personal information can be exploited, Congress must protect these federal employees and contractors in perpetuity.
