HANDS OFF DC APRIL 5!

 

The cherry blossoms were beautiful while they lasted, though most are sadly now gone with our recent rains.  Tomorrow, April 5, is the Petalpalooza celebration, but make sure you detour to the Washington Monument for the Hands Off rally starting at noon, and hold up high those "Hands Off DC Government" and "Hands Off Medicaid" signs!  

For the past couple of weeks, I had thought I would be writing about FY2026 budget hearings before the DC Council, but in light of the refusal by the US House of Representatives to pass the bill "allowing" DC to spend our own local tax dollars in this fiscal year (FY2025), everything about next year's budget has been postponed.  (If the House doesn't take action soon, we may be having to make abrupt cuts in this year's local spending.)

SO - GET OUT THERE TOMORROW AND SAY IT LOUDLY:  HANDS OFF DC GOVERNMENT!
