Eleanor Holmes Norton: “Even if it were the most efficient corporation in the United States, it could not have been the same Postal Service it…”

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

Our local police force should not be subject to federalization, an action that wouldn't be possible for any other police department in the country.

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.'s local courts have faced chronic judicial vacancies for far too long, delaying justice for residents and placing an unnecessary strain on the administration of our local court system.
