Congressman Mfume recalls DC taxation without representation movement at House committee hearing on nation's capital
Maryland Congressman Kweisi Mfume says that DC's situation parallels the Boston Tea Party regarding taxation without representation, recounting the history of DC's Home Rule Act in 1973, the failed congressional representation amendment in 1978, the ignored New Columbia constitution in 1982, and Marion Barry's repeated arguments for fairness, emphasizing that justice cannot be portioned out selectively at a House Oversight and Government Reform Committee hearing on the city's crime and governance.
