Councilmember Brianne K Nadeau spoke with WTOP this week about the Mayor's executive order. All District leaders should stand strong against the brazen spread of authoritarian rule.
I joined Free DC and my Council colleagues to demand an end to the federal occupation of the District and to deliver a message to Republicans in Congress: you take care of your business, and we'll take care of ours.
Thank you Mt Pleasant neighbors for giving me the chance to speak and a huge thanks to everyone who has been showing up night after night to stand up for our District.
In a hearing this week DCPS made clear that it's leaving schools on their own to fund things like educator wellness grants, permanent substitutes, immigrant visa/green card program (for bilingual education) & other programs critical to teacher retention. The inequity is obvious: schools with well-resourced parents will find a way; other schools won't.
In the Mayor’s budget proposal, violence interruption programs in Ward 1 are cut in half, the Ward 1 Cure the Streets program is entirely cut, and the proposed plan for next fiscal year adopts a “ward-wide model” that will not help us prevent crew-based violence.
I joined my D.C. Council colleagues on Capitol Hill to meet with House Republicans and explain how their proposed continuing resolution will hurt D.C. by forcing us to slash public safety and education funding.
Last month D.C.’s crime lab regained accreditation for its fingerprinting unit, the third of its five units to be reaccredited since all of them lost theirs more than three years ago.
The first phase of the Park Morton reconstruction project is almost ready to open – more than 140 units of income-restricted housing, with one-, two-, three- and even a four-bedroom unit, to accommodate families of all sizes.
Councilmember Nadeau questioned DHCF Director Wayne Turnage at a recent Health Committee performance oversight hearing about Medicaid reimbursement for home visiting programs.
