Eleanor Holmes Norton: “We want the public to be safe, and we want the public to be able to get where they are going quickly.”

Throughout my career in Congress I’ve passionately defended home rule and DC’s right to govern itself.

I strongly opposed the Supreme Court's decision in Sackett v. Environmental Protection Agency. I urge this committee to take up legislation to overturn the Sackett decision and restore Clean Water Act protections for the Nation's rivers…

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.
