  • LETTER John Lewis Way Designation
    COUNCIL OF THE DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA OFFICE OF COUNCILMEMBER BROOKE PINTO THE JOHN A. WILSON BUILDING 1350 PENNSLYVANIA AVENUE, N.W., SUITE 106 WASHINGTON, D.C. 20004 January 14, 2021 Nyasha Smith, Secretary Council of the District of Columbia 1350 Pennsylvania Avenue, N.W. Washington, DC 20004 Dear Secretary Smith, Today, along with Chairman Phil Mendelson and Councilmembers Anita Bonds, Elissa Silverman, Christina Henderson, Brianne K. Nadeau, Mary M. Cheh, Janeese Lewis George, Charles Allen, Vincent C. Gray, Trayon White, Sr., Robert C. White, Jr., and Kenyan R. McDuffie, I am introducing the “John Lewis Way Designation Act of 2021.” Please find enclosed a signed copy of the legislation. This legislation would symbolically designate H Street N.W., between 15th Street N.W. and 17th Street N.W. in Ward 2, as “John Lewis Way”. This portion of H Street N.W. was chosen for the designation due to its proximity to the White House and as according to the U.S. General Services Administration, in the 1700s enslaved Blacks were sold in nearby Lafayette Square. Representative John Robert Lewis was a son of Alabama sharecroppers, a giant of the Civil Rights Movement, and an apostle of nonviolence. He received his B.A. in religion and philosophy at the American Baptist Theological Institute and Fisk University, in Nashville, Tennessee. Representative Lewis’ personal history paralleled that of the civil rights movement. He was among the original 13 Freedom Riders, he was an early leader of the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee, and he also helped organize the 1963 March on Washington on the steps of the Lincoln Memorial.

DeWitt Chief Financial Officer February 26, 2021 The Honorable Muriel Bowser Mayor of the District of Columbia 1350 Pennsylvania Avenue, NW, Suite 306 Washington, DC 20004 The Honorable Phil Mendelson Chairman Council of the District of Columbia 1350 Pennsylvania Avenue, NW, Suite 504 Washington, DC 20004 Re: February 2021 Revenue Estimates Dear Mayor Bowser and Chairman Mendelson: This letter certifies the revenue estimate for the FY 2022 – FY 2025 District of Columbia Budget and Financial Plan. The revised estimate increases the current FY 2021 – FY 2024 financial plan revenue by $227 million. This, combined with prior revisions, leaves a financial plan deficit of $235 million to be addressed. Revenue for FY 2021 is $141.8 million (-1.7 percent) below the FY 2020 revenue level and grows $387.5 million (+4.8 percent) in FY 2022. Revenue is expected to return to the FY 2019 level of $8.3 billion in FY 2022 as vaccines are deployed and the economy recovers.

  • 1 8 February 2021 Dear Mayor Bowser, As You Develop Your 2022 Fiscal Year Budget, the Undersigned Stakeholders Urge You to Launc
    8 February 2021 Dear Mayor Bowser, As you develop your 2022 fiscal year budget, the undersigned stakeholders urge you to launch a bold restructuring and expansion of DC’s efforts to eliminate gun violence. Without systematic changes, Washington, DC will remain among the most deadly cities in the country.1 It does not have to be this way. We have the solutions that can solve this public health crisis.2 The District has the potential to truly be a world-class city. To get there, we must adopt a thorough, focused plan to put an end of gun violence in our great city. The District must fully commit to a comprehensive, fully scaled, multidisciplinary approach to reducing gun violence. We have the data driven, proven strategies that have worked in many other cities, but no effort will be successful unless we tackle gun violence head on in a fair and balanced manner, with sufficient, sustained funding, and exacting focus.3 We can point to strategies implemented successfully in other cities such as Oakland, CA and Eugene, OR45 but we also need to recognize that DC successfully worked in a multi-faceted, collaborative manner to bring the homicide rate down from a high of 489 high to a low of 88 (1989-2012).6 Research strongly shows that a small number of people are driving the majority of gun violence and that it often tracks social networks.7 This is in part because gun homicides, nonfatal shootings, and exposure to gun violence reflect and intensify our country’s long-standing racial inequities.
