Cranky, unfortunately the standard budget display for statutory language displays the prior year's language with removed language in brackets [ ] and new language italicized so it will stand out that they're proposing its removal. Doesn't mean they shouldn't propose not to include it - you can always hope some staffer goofs and does what the District asks for there.

Wouldn't it have made more sense to put this provision in there, but not let Congress know about it? Sorta like how credit card companies jack up your interest rates, but only mention it in the fine print of a bill. By making our intentions known, we're practically begging our congressional Morlocks to take that language out and possibly hit us with some more punative measures just to teach us a lesson.

Forget the Bat Signal. Wrap MLK Library in a plastic "No Taxation without Representation" tarp, a la Cristo. You get the disenfranchisement message across and we don't have to look at that fug Mies van der Rohe nightmare anymore.
