House GOP investigators say they aren’t done digging into D.C. management, particularly of public safety, and will hold a general hearing on the topic this month.
House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer, Kentucky Republican, invited city officials, including D.C. Council Chairman Phil Mendelson, to the March 29 session alongside the D.C. Police Union.
Efforts to dig into D.C. affairs follow a successful effort by congressional Republicans to block a D.C. overhaul of the criminal code that would have weakened maximum penalties for carjacking and other crimes. Mr. Mendelson said D.C. officials did a poor job of messaging the bill, which aligned penalties with the level of punishment doled out in the states. Local officials fear the episode will open the door to more interference in city affairs.
