Here is d. C. Council member tommy wells. Its ridiculous that the city has held hostage to the federal budget. No other city in the country has to go through this. So what it means for us, well be able to keep police, fire and the things we have to have in terms of Public Safety going. But what wont happen, trash wont get picked up. Libraries will be closed. All those kinds of things that really are part of our daily lives that we pay for will not be open in the district. Its absolutely ridiculous. Reporter d. C. Council member tommy wells is also running for mayor of the district of columbia, fired up about this issue.
