This will be brief, and is certainly my final post of 2024!
I didn't want to let the year end, though, without confirming that our favorite DC council staffer, Sebastian Weinmann, wrote last week to say that DDS will remain under the jurisdiction of the council committee chaired by his boss, councilmember Janeese Lewis George. At such a challenging time for the DC budget, and for DC more generally, this continuity is very welcome.
As you celebrate the turn of the year, add to your list for early 2025 a plan to testify at the DDS performance review hearing, to share your experience with DDA, RSA or both, with DC councilmembers. As for me, I also plan to testify at the DBH performance review, since that department also has profound influence on persons with disabilities in DC.
The coming year will require courage and determination from all of us - so get ready!
