Maryland’s gas tax reprieve will end on April 16. The state’s House of Delegates voted against an amendment that would have extended the holiday. 

The D.C. Council is expected to jump right into action with legislation addressing the reopening of public schools.

The bill comes amidst concerted efforts by Republicans against critical race theory, which teaches that racism isn’t just based on individual acts — but also systemic ones.

The letter says making D.C. a state would give residents an unfair advantage because they’d be closer to the White House and U.S. Capitol than anyone else.

Yes, you read that right.

One bill would break up the Department of Consumer and Regulatory Affairs into two separate agencies, and the other would create a new ombudsman’s office within the city’s public child welfare agency.

It’s unclear when the new benefits will kick in, due to federal regulations and administrative costs.

There are more than 300 new or revised laws dealing with issues including anti-discrimination, health care, and law enforcement.

Maine, Vermont, and Puerto Rico currently allow residents in prison for having committed felonies to vote in elections. And D.C. may not be far behind.

For the past six years, city officials held election dates in April and June to avoid breaking a federal law.
