Council member Christina Henderson (I-At Large) said she supports pausing the K Street project to give planners time to revise the design and address community concerns. But she said revisions shouldn’t take another year — on top of three years already spent on design work — and she doesn’t support pulling all funds from the project. Finding the money in the future, she said, “will just be incredibly difficult.”

Parker is also particularly interested in seeding new ideas such as his proposal for a D.C.-based child tax credit or At-Large Councilmember Christina Henderson‘s legislation to increase SNAP benefits to keep pace with the rising cost of groceries.

D.C. Council member Christina Henderson (I-At Large), chair of the Committee on Health, told The Informer that students who testified at council hearings often spoke about relying on friends for information about on-campus services. In explaining the legislation, Henderson stressed that peer educators wouldn’t replace behavioral health professionals. Instead, they would serve as a bridge between their friends and on-campus service providers, if it ever gets to that point that students need such resources. “The peer-to-peer model is [for students] to provide resources when they are needed [and] educate others about strategies and walk them to professionals,” Henderson said. “The grantees would be organizations that do this work to provide training around what students would talk about. Needs vary among students, like triage and prevention. [The question is]: How do we prevent a major episode?”

Another car flagged by D.C. Councilmember Christina Henderson racked up $32,000 in unpaid camera ticket fines, and yet the car owner can still renew their driver's license. "All of that would not be on your record. And in fact, now you cannot pay and still renew, said Henderson. "It's incredibly frustrating." "The District government made some choices before my time that sort of led to Maryland and Virginia basically saying, ‘Oh, OK, so if you're not going to enforce this, then why would we enforce this against drivers registered in our states?'" said Henderson. When asked how this problem could be fixed, Henderson responded, "We’re looking at Arizona. Phoenix actually has a system. Chicago, interestingly enough, has a system as well."

These developments come weeks after D.C. Council member Christina Henderson (I-At Large) introduced the Out of School Time Special Education Inclusion and Standards Act, which would mandate OSSE to develop standards out-of-school time providers would adhere to when serving students with IEPs.

But the mayor’s proposal generated questions from the District Council. Councilmember Christina Henderson questioned how D.C. could expect to make so much money when so many people don’t pay in the first place. “If Maryland and Virginia residents do not have to pay, how?" she said. Despite reciprocity issues between the three jurisdictions, regarding District traffic tickets, Bowser said 70% of offenders ultimately pay their tickets.
