The Metro Washington Council AFL-CIO yesterday spoke out against congressional meddling in the District, sending letters to key leaders in Congress. "We unite to oppose congressional interference with the District’s self-determination in governance," wrote Metro Council president Jackie Jeter. “These federal congressional actions would unjustly undermine important local decisions made by the people of the District of Columbia through their elected leaders,” wrote Jeter. The Metro Council is urging affiliates to send letters as well and will be keeping tabs on an upcoming hearing on the issue.
