DC Council Chairman Phil Mendelson on Monday wrote a letter to the Senate attempting to withdraw the district’s criminal reform legislation from congressional review after it became clear the Senate intended to nix the legislation. “This morning, I delivered a letter to the Senate withdrawing the criminal code reform commission legislation,” Mendelson said during a news conference on Monday.
” The DC City Council came to the decision once it became clear that Biden would sign the disapproval resolution, and worked over the weekend over how to execute it, according to a source familiar with the situation. Council members – like many Hill Democrats – were blindsided by Biden’s position and received no heads up from the White House, the source added. But once it became clear the law would be overturned, they felt there was no point in keeping it before Congress for review.
