[quote=Anonymous]Just want to note that the Senate passed a bipartisan bill (unanimous voice vote) to restore funding to DC stripped by the CR. Will need to be voted on by the House later this month, but DC might not lose that billion in funding after all. Bill was spearheaded by the DMV delegation (Van Hollen, Warner, Alsobrooks, Kaine) and then Susan Collins apparently helped get agreement of Republicans. Not a done deal but the bipartisan support is good news. Regardless of what you think about the CR vote, I am really grateful to the VA, MD, and Maine delegations for stepping up to advance the interests of disenfranchised DC residents. Would also love to know what turd in the House inserted the provision to the CR that stripped the funding in the first place. No one will fess up to it.[/quote]
