The Council of the District of Columbia chairman announced he has submitted a letter withdrawing the criminal code bill from the Senate ahead of an expected vote this week.
Chairman Phil Mendelson reportedly told reporters the crime bill was no longer submitted for congressional approval effective Monday and that it would"take some time" before it could be resubmitted with revisions."So, I don't know exactly what to expect, but if the Republicans want to proceed with the vote ... it will be a hollow vote," Mendelson said.
Mendelson wrote in his letter to Vice President Kamala Harris that since the bill has not appeared before the Senate, it is not"properly before Congress at this time." "Withdrawal enables the Council to work on the measure in light of Congressional comments, and to re-submit it later," Mendelson wrote.
