Interesting: A new bill from @chenderson.bsky.social would allow D.C. to enter a collaborative purchasing agreement with other states to buy prescription drugs at a discount.
"Lowering prescription drug costs is an economic issue as well as a public health priority," she says.

NEWS: In a letter to congressional leaders, D.C. CFO Glen Lee says that if Congress repeals a D.C. bill decoupling the city's tax code from some of the Republican tax changes, he may have to suspend tax filing season — possibly for several months.

HSGAC is voting on the bill next Wednesday. The House may vote on this on the floor next week.
I truly hate to ask DC residents to have to call members of Congress about a local budget issue yet again, but here we are.
We’d have a $224m shortfall this fiscal year if passed.

For advocates, if these congressional resolutions are passed disapproving of LOCAL tax code changes, it would also overturn funding for the local child tax credit and expanded local EITC.

DC is not unique. Many states like Rhode Island, Virginia, Michigan, Pennsylvania, Delaware have already done this.
But because DC is more of a colony, a Senator from Florida and a Rep from Texas can push this without caring about the impact. www.ncsl.org/fiscal/2025-...

Background: Like many states and local govts, parts of DC’s tax code was linked to the federal tax code.
Changes to the tax code due to One Big Beautiful Bill would have resulted in HUGE local revenue losses including $224m this fiscal year.
So we acted to separate parts.

🚨As if DC didn’t already have enough to deal with, today we learned the Senate and House will vote next wk on SJ Res. 102 and HJ Res. 142 to disapprove a bill to decouple provisions of DC’s tax code from the feds.
This would blow a $820 MILLION hole through the financial plan!
