Council is now considering legislation that would provide up to 16 weeks of paid family leave far more than any other state in the country. Tom sherwood was at the Council Hearing today and joins us with more on the impact. What kind of impact are we talking about here . Pat, 16 paid weeks. Thats a lot of time. Usually most people have a few weeks of paid leave and then maybe more weeks of unpaid leave. This would be paid for, the employers in the city would have a 1 wage tax on all their workers in the city. And that money would be used to give people, employees, parttime and fulltime, 16 weeks of paid leave. Now, the supporters of this say this will give families a chance to deal with newborn babies, both fathers and mothers, to deal with illnesses in families, to deal with aging parents. They say this is it also would make the employees more loyal to the employers. So they say its a good win across the board. It would make a lot of people happy, but what about businesses . How are they responding . The businesses have been nervous about a couple of laws. The city has one of the biggest minimum wages in the country. Goes to 11. 50 next summer.

But they say this paid leave, 16 weeks, will hurt their Business Competitiveness with maryland a and virginia and are just going to be fighting it.

Republican president ial candidate marco rubio says the gun laws that have been the focus of the current political debate would not have prevented last week piece attack in oregon. Instead, rubio says the nation needs to change focus to end the violence. And we have two issue in this country. One is Mental Illness which we need to address more seriously and not stigmatize it and set it aside. Thats what we need to address in the society as a country. The other, why have we become so violent as individuals . The latest nbc news wall street journal poll shows rubio tied for third in the republican race. President ial hopeful ben carson also weighing in on gun control during a question and answer session on facebook last night. When asked about the oregon shooting, carson noted that hed lost cousins to gun violence and he operated on people who had been shot. Then continued to write, theres no doubt that this senseless violence is breathtaking, but i never saw a body with bullet holes that was more devastating than taking the right to arm ourselves away. Now to a story that i just put up on facebook. Its not hot talk but it is exploding on social media. Its not going well for rihanna.

Your listeners agree. Listeners are not happy with rihanna right now. A lot of folks are conflicted because they do love her as an artist, shes a fashion icon, shes an outspoken person, but one person says that i spoke to today says that maybe shes gone too far today in a very blunt kind of way saying isnt she just a singer, why is she commenting on Something Like this . The pop star weighing in on one of these hotbutton issues in america. Specifically black america. And Rachel Dolezals attempt to pretending to be black obviously was a big deal a few months ago. Its not something that rihanna is known to do, jump in on these controversial topics. Maybe with the exception of the situation with Domestic Violence with chris brown. So her reaction to the vanity fair comments, folks were just they took issue with her calling Rachel Dolezal a hero. Yeah, i put on my facebook page, i said, you know, look, i think people are a little hard on rihanna in that her opinion doesnt change any public policy. No. Just an opinion. She was just commenting on something that happened. Even if you dont agree with it absolutely, but its funny, what i kind of heard from people was why are you making these kind of comments now it would be great if we knew that rihanna was making those kinds of statements in general along with all the other things that she does. Now she chooses Rachel Dolezal to chime in on. I want to bring something up here. This story exploded on social media mostly due to black twitter. For folks who dont know, give us your spin on what that is, and the role its playing in the larger context. And chris, its something weve talked about here before. Black twitter is the, basically the unofficial aggregator of news and culture on the internet as it relates to africanamerican culture. So black twitter has gone from everything from rihanna to the black lives matter movement, to bring back our girls, ferguson. Even kind of firing the outrage over what paula deen said with some of her racial comments. So rihanna is the new target of those kinds of comments. This is an influential kind of group of people that makes viral statements, and, you know, some celebrities as a matter of fact have actually apologized after black twhitter kind of had thei way with them. Troy johnson, that was hot talk, man. It was. Maybe that was you can read more about what rihanna had to say about Rachel Dolezal on our nbc washington app. Search rihanna.

Were about to see how a big shift in our criminal Justice System plays out. At the end of october, the Justice Department will set free about 6,000 inmates. It is the largest onetime release of federal prisoners and Washington Post, and Pulitzer Prize winner, is reporting on the timing of that release. What went into this decision . One thing we should all realize is on november 1st, between october 28th and november 2nd, actually, its not like the flood gates of federal prisons all over the country are going to open up and 6,000 prisoners are going to come out. What happened is the u. S. Sentencing commission made a change in policy which required drug offenders who might be eligible for reduction in sentence to go before a judge, petition a judge, and if the judge thought they were not a Public Safety risk, the judge okayed their request. Then what will happen in this time period, the end of october, beginning of november, is these inmates, 6,000some inmates, will go to Halfway Houses first where they will undergo counseling and Reentry Services and possibly help to get a job. Then they will go to home confinement and then to probation. And supervised release. So its not like theyre just going to walk out of prison and into communities. Yeah, because i know some of the critics including some federal prosecutors, some police officials, have raised his threat this threat in increase of crime because of this. Right. What the Sentencing Commission did was say, look, we have a terrible problem of overcrowding in federal prisons. Over 40 over capacity. And theres an afwreegreement r nationwide, drug sentences of the 1980s and 1990s, harsh drug sentences went too far. This was an attempt to say first of all lets reduce drug sentences for future drug offenders. Then the commission made it retroactive. Then they said well give the Justice Department a year to implement this big change and november 1st is when that year ends. And sari, when you look at this in combination with president obamas push for clemency with that criminal justice deform bill that was just introduced last week, are we changing the tone of how we talk about incarceration here in our country . We absolutely are changing the tone of how we talk about mass incarceration. Theres a Real National shift in drugsentencing policy and criminal justice reform. Last week in congress there was a group of senators that unveiled a bipartisan bill with the support from people like the Koch Brothers and the aclu, a conservative senator, grassley, and senators like leahy and durbin. Youre seeing a bipartisan support coalescing around legislation on the hill. At the same time, the Justice Department under eric holder changed its charging policy and told federal prosecutors across the country do not charge lowlevel, nonviolent drug offenders with these severe charges that would lead to mandatory minimum sentences. And then, of course, at the white house, president obama has been giving clemency to certain nonviolent, lowlevel drug offenses that meet the criteria set out by the Justice Department. All right.
