Eleanor Holmes Norton: “I hate to ask for a hearing on this, but I am going to have to ask for Congress to try to clarify what we mean.”

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.

This bill would establish a commonsense process to ensure that qualified nominees are not indefinitely delayed by Senate inaction.

Even the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (IIJA) provided a mixed bag for truckers.

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