Hit us with your best shot—file away!

Guidance is now clear—you should file your DC taxes as you normally would, on time, and in accordance with existing District law, using existing forms/software.

Phil Mendelson Talks Budget, and the Tricky CFO Relationship
YouTube video by Council of the District of Columbia Phil Mendelson Talks Budget, and the Tricky CFO Relationship

In our latest #HearingTheCouncil interview, Chairman Phil Mendelson talks about this predictably unpredictable budget year. We take a deep, newsy dive into the independence, power, & vexing nature of the District’s independent CFO role. Plus…puppet shows?

We are adjourned. Due to a quirk of our schedule, our next regularly scheduled Legislative Meeting—technically our
April meeting—will be held on Tuesday, March 31. Go figure…

We apologize for the delay, but the pre-meeting breakfast meeting that precedes our Committee of the Whole meeting is running late and has not yet concluded.

We will provide a better estimate of our actual start time once it becomes clear.

OTD in 1872, Charlotte Ray became the 1st woman admitted to the DC Bar. She was also the 1st female Black lawyer in the US & the 1st woman admitted to practice before the US Supreme Court. She taught at a @HowardU prep school & graduated from @howardlawschool. A trailblazer!

OTD in 1978, the House approved the DC Voting Rights Amendment by a 289-127 vote. (The Senate followed suit 5 months later)

This sent the Amendment to state legislatures, who allowed the 7-year (!) deadline to expire w/o getting the necessary 3/4 of them to approve #DCStatehood
