What it basically says is that on a daily basis. we bash the District of Columbia. We basically say. every time their appropriation bill comes up or their authorization bill comes up. that they are not doing the right thing. that they do not know how to govern themselves. that they do not know how to conduct themselves. They get bashed more than any other group in this Nation except for immigrants. That is a fact of life. Now. when the District of Columbia begins to move ahead and tries to deal with issues as other people in inner cities and suburban communities are doing throughout this country. by saying. part of the way we want to better ourselves is to require you. for certain jobs. to live within the community that you work in so that you will have an interest in that community. so that you will be a force. a presence in that community. so that you will be a leader in that community. then we step in and say. no. you cannot do that.
