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.

Dear Chairman Crawford, Ranking Member Holmes Norton and Members of the U.S.

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