Norton Statement on House Markup of D.C. Appropriations Bill
WASHINGTON, D.C. –– After the House Appropriations Committee marked up the fiscal year 2025 D.C. appropriations bill yesterday, Congresswoman Eleanor Holmes Norton (D-DC) said that although she was able to get some victories for D.C., she is disappointed with the anti-home rule riders and other provisions. Significantly, the rider prohibiting D.C. from commercializing marijuana, which was absent in the base text of the bill, was added back during the markup.
