New Issue of “Chairman’s Update” (9.18.13)

By news, newsletter

The newest issue of Phil Mendelson’s newsletter is now available.  The newsletter has been restyled, and has been renamed the “Chairman’s Update.”  But like the predecessor newsletter (the “At-Large Update”), you can find the same great content and news items.

In the September 18, 2013 issue, Chairman Mendelson discusses the budget accomplishments that are to take effect beginning next month, comments on legislation that will impact the first election of the District’s Attorney General, and shares another constituent services story.  The newsletter also contains a list of upcoming hearings of the Committee of the Whole.

You can access the newsletter through this link, 9.18.13 Chairman’s Update, or view the embedded document below.

Legislation & Oversight

By featured post slider

The Chairman of the Council is the Chairman of the Committee of the Whole (COW), and all Councilmembers are part of the committee. The COW meets on the third Tuesday of each month, except during periods of Council recess, to consider measures pending in the Committee and measures which have been reported and filed by other committees. During COW meetings, bills can also be introduced and referred to other committees.Each bill and resolution reported by the several Council committees are referred to the COW to make sure the measure is legally sufficient and complies with Council rules, and that its fiscal impact statement is sound.
