DC TAKEOVER DEADLINE: WHAT’S NEXT FOR THE CITY?

        The 30-day federal takeover of the D.C. police department is over. Control is back in the hands of mayor Muriel Bowser and chief Pamela Smith. But the story is far from finished. National Guard troops are still patrolling city streets as the federal surge continues. Meanwhile, on Capitol Hill, GOP lawmakers are pushing a slate of bills that could further roll back the district’s autonomy. That includes who appoints the D.C. Attorney General and how young offenders are charged and sentenced. What does this mean for home rule… and for the people of Washington, D.C.? We’ve got a panel of experts ready to tackle the issue from all sides.
