A bill to give the District some budget autonomy was deleted from the agenda of a House oversight Committee meeting Thursday, but not before Chairman Darrell Issa (R-Calif.) vowed to keep pressing the measure..
Issa’s bill, which would have allowed the city to start spending its own money as soon as the D.C. Council and mayor approved a budget, was rejected Wednesday by local leaders because it would also have made permanent a temporary ban on city-funded abortions. The measure had been tentatively scheduled to be marked up thursday by the Committee on Oversight and Government Reform.
