The proposed budget is unfairly balanced on the backs of working families, while no sacrifice is being asked of wealthy residents who can give more. My proposal is simple: restore childcare, paid family leave, and healthcare with a modest surcharge on passive wealth.

How will DC's bottle bill system protect against fraud? Reverse vending machines can read market-specific codes & reject those not sold in DC. We can also educate residents to place out-of-state containers in recycling bins and limit how many containers can be returned at one time.
Bottle bill facts. How can businesses be sure bottles and cans that are redeemed were purchased in D.C. and eligible for a refund?

There are many factors that impact the price of a beverage. There is no evidence that a bottle bill is one of them in any state or other country. Get more bottle bill facts, like how it is expected to exponentially improve DC's recycling rate, here: brianneknadeau.com/bottle-bill/

Experience in other states shows that manufacturers and distributors do not increase the price on their product when a bottle bill is implemented.

Imposing a $500 fine or sending an unhoused person to jail for 30 days is cruel and shameful. Being unhoused is not a crime. Congress must reject H.R. 5163. Every resident has the right to safe and affordable housing, and we must continue our work to secure that right for everyone.

DC is under siege by our own federal government, with armed military patrolling our streets & masked agents scooping up neighbors & taking them away. Our residents are afraid, hesitant to go out & to work, angry that our limited autonomy is being eroded. There is nothing welcome about this.
Zachary Parker @ZacharyForWard5: We, as city leaders, should be unequivocal that the federal surge of officers in DC and deployment of national guardsmen on our streets are dangerous, unnecessary, and an affront to Home Rule. 

We ought to be real clear about that. Real clear."
