tension between dc and city government because of this constitutional role in stopping dc from doing things it wants to do. did you expect it would come to the point where they would be threatening to jail you. this is an issue where some people feel very strongly at the congress and they re speaking loudly. our residents also spoke loud and clear last november when seven out of ten of them went to the polls to vote to approve legalization of small amounts of marijuana in washington dc use for adults in their homes. i m the mayor of the district of columbia, i was elected, and my job is to implement the people s law. if members of congress that are so excited and head up about this issue and are being so confrontational about this issue, if they decide they will not put you in jail, but they want to do everything possible
some republican members of congress are calling for arrests. mayor, how do you react to the talk that you might go to jail. that part of this? well, you heard that we believe that we re acting lawfully. so i have a lot of things to do here in the district of columbia. me being in jail would not be a good thing. joining me now is the mayor of washington dc. mayor bowser, thank you for being here tonight. thank you, it s my pleasure to be here. clearly you re not in jail. i imagine there is a lot of attention between dc and city government because of this constitutional role in stopping dc from doing things it wants to do. did you expect it would come to the point where they would be threatenning to jail you.
