Eleanor Holmes Norton: “I think this is one of those jobs.”

Ranking Member Holmes Norton and Representative Ezell have championed bipartisan legislation to fight freight fraud, which is destroying small trucking businesses every day.

I urge the administration to move forward to finish this rulemaking.

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.

D.C. has not been treated as a federal agency for funding purposes in more than 20 years precisely because doing so can force dramatic overnight cuts to essential services, including police, sanitation, and schools.
