Eleanor Holmes Norton: “They say to us that they are frustrated by the slow pace and the needless bureaucracy.”

With this bill, House Republicans have intentionally committed nothing short of fiscal sabotage against D.C.

I urge the FAA to do more to combat aviation noise and to engage more with affected communities on this matter.

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 will use every tool at my disposal to stop these riders from becoming law, and I commit to reminding my fellow lawmakers across the aisle that D.C. residents deserve the same consideration as their own constituents at every opportunity.
