Congress Plans to Dismantle D.C. Panel From the Washington Post: "Rep. Thomas M. Davis III (R-Va.) intends to abolish the House Government Reform subcommittee on the District, assuming oversight of the capital city personally as the new chairman of the full panel... The House District Committee was created in 1808 and, in the 20th century, became a bastion for white, southern segregationists who wielded power freely over the mostly black, disenfranchised city."
DC Metro Action is published by Michael Schlesinger, a 32-year veteran of electoral and issue organizing who is committed to social justice and to increasing participation in the political process.
