[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I know some will complain about DC Home Rule issues, but I do think the US Congress has a responsibility to protect citizens visiting from outside of DC to see the sights or to do a Capitol Hill visit.  A safe environment is more important than woke progressive politics in Capitol city.[/quote]

+1 Exactly--thank you!![/quote]

Explain the correlation between an updated criminal code that goes into place in three years and tourist safety. I'm very curious[/quote]

Does there need to be a correlation?  The fact that the revisions would not take effect for several years does not make it any less stupid.  If the DC Council wants to be treated like a serious institution, then they should act like one.  Carjackings, street robberies, etc. are out of control around here.[/quote]
I am not sure what all of the controversy is about. The fact that it doesn’t go into effect until 2025 means that the acts of Congress and Biden will have no practical effect on DC, because nothing will change tomorrow or next year. All the Council has to do is work collaboratively with the mayor and USAO to ensure that a balanced bill gets passed that reflects their concerns and there will be no problem. [/quote]
