Mayor Vince Gray sent an angry, last-ditch letter to Congressional leadership this afternoon in order to try and lobby Congress to keep D.C.’s residents from suffering at the hands of partisan bickering.
“It is simply intolerable for the Congress to treat the District’s government as a federal agency and our residents as second-class citizens,” the letter, addressed to House Speaker John Boehner (R-OH) and Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-NV) states.
Gray also said he’d like to meet with Boehner and Reid “on an urgent basis any time today to discuss in further detail the plight” of the city’s residents, though something tells me that they’ll probably be pretty busy for the rest of the evening.
