DC Paperwork Reduction Act Introduced by Congresswoman Norton

By CommitteeJanuary 7, 2014news

Today, Congresswoman Eleanor Holmes Norton introduced the District of Columbia Paperwork Reduction Act, which effectively would eliminate the congressional review period for legislation passed in the District of Columbia.

“The congressional review process is a counterproductive procedure that hampers speedy enactment of laws in the District of Columbia,” said Chairman Mendelson. “Congresswoman Norton’s bill promotes efficiency and will end costly delays for the District. Further, this bill will eliminate the need for emergency and temporary legislation, and will pave the way for more streamlined government .”

The District of Columbia Paperwork Reduction Act will bring the city’s procedures more in line with the federal policy of diminishing time-consuming and unneeded paperwork.

Statement on Passing of President Mandela

By WebmasterDecember 6, 2013news, Uncategorized

Chairman Phil Mendelson’s Statement on the Passing of
Former South African President Nelson Mandela

“Nelson Mandela was one of those rare world-class figures on the human stage. A noble freedom fighter who started out as a leader in the struggle to end apartheid in South Africa, he came to be known as a world leader and statesman. He was a hero to people of all races.

There was so much that Mr. Mandela accomplished – even to begin a list would fill many pages. He’s been honored and thanked many times, including receiving the Nobel Peace Prize, but it can never be enough.

It is with a heavy heart that I issue this statement on the death of South Africa’s first black President. My thoughts are with the citizens of South Africa and with Mr. Mandela’s family.”
