Eleanor Holmes Norton: “the delays cost the government.”

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.

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.

This process is key to our democracy. It provides avenues for every citizen, lawmaker, and stakeholder to provide input into the rulemaking process.
