Bowser Doesn't Sign Another D.C. 911 Bill

The District of Columbia enacted another 911 transparency bill last week, once more without the signature of Mayor Muriel Bowser (D). The D.C. Council voted 12-0 Oct. 3 to pass an emergency bill (B25-0509) to amend the law establishing the Office of Unified Communications. Bowser similarly declined to sign a temporary 911 transparency bill earlier this month (see 2310120062). The D.C. Council Judiciary and Public Safety Committee mulled a permanent OUC transparency bill at an Oct. 5 hearing (see 2310050062). Some at the hearing claimed Bowser isn't taking seriously District 911 problems identified in an audit. Bowser didn't comment Friday.
