In November 2022, the District of Columbia City Council passed the Revised Criminal Code Act of 2022 (RCCA) that significantly reformed the D.C. Criminal Code to "modernize and overhaul" the District's criminal laws including a reduction in penalties for many violent offenses.D.C. Mayor Muriel Bowser initially vetoed the bill citing concerns about some of the changes, but the Council overrode her veto in early 2023. Because D.C. government is not autonomous from the federal government, the legislation requires Congressional approval.The U.S. House voted to nullify the bill, and the Senate is slated to vote on whether to block the bill this week. Should the Senate vote to block the D.C. bill, it could be the first time in almost 3 decades that Congress has nullified a D.C. law.If the Senate votes to nullify the law, the bill will go to President Biden to sign or to veto. While many had anticipated he would veto the resolution, President Biden indicated in a March 2 tweet that he would sign the resolution should it pass.On March 6, D.C. Council Chairman Phil Mendelson wrote a letter to the Senate attempting to withdraw the legislation. Such a withdrawal has not been attempted before. The Senate is still slated to take the issue to a vote later this week.As the Senate vote approached, we hosted a webinar featuring an opening address from U.S. Senator Bill Hagerty, followed by a discussion of the bill and what may come next.Opening Address Featuring:Hon.

But when the pandemic started, she realized exactly how critical her perspective would be in city government. Now she's running for Columbia City Council in South Carolina.

John Sims is an artist, and a dear friend of The Church of Stop Shopping. Recently, John was roused from sleep at 2 AM by three white cops entering his apartment with guns drawn. This took place in Columbia, SC., where his AfroDixia exhibit is now installed, and he is artist-in-residence. John's speech to the Columbia City Council, in the days following the scare, is included in full in this radio show. The Columbia police chief claims to be a leader in working with people traditionally marginalized. And yet, he says the cops "followed department protocols". Really? Mistakenly entering a private bedroom and handcuffing the occupant is police policy? Police racism, toxic water and air, racist payment patterns from FEMA after storms, etc. etc... Black and brown people are subject to state-sanctioned violence which is often also crime against the Earth. John's exhibit "AfroDixia: A Righteous Confiscation" can be seen at the Center for Contemporary Arts. His work re-envisions confederate imagery and history. This is an image from his show

This week we discuss: Pediatric Covid cases in CaliforniaHow much did Cuomo make off his book deal?Clarifying the SC Open Carry billThe push for "affirmative" therapy for minors with gender dysphoria in Columbia, SC and why it matters to those who live in other locations.

***This episode of Bowl After Bowl was originally published December 20, 2014. The title and notes have been republished as originally written*** Tobacco 21 On Monday, Columbia City Council passed Tobacco 21 (http://tobacco21.org/)with a landslide six-to-one vote on all three related ordinances. Thank you Laura Nauser for standing up for our personal freedoms and being the only council member to vote "no" on Tobacco 21! Unfortunately Laura's colleagues do not share her respect for the personal freedoms and rights of adults in Columbia, MO. Three changes occurred as a result of the Tobacco 21 vote: • the age to purchase tobacco and paraphernalia for tobacco use (including papers and pipes) increased from 18 to 21 within city limits • the age to purchase e-cigs increased from 18 to 21 within city limits • e-cigs were added to the city's ban on public smoking (http://www.gocolumbiamo.com/Documents/article-ix-smoking.pdf), which especially targets indoor use How can we repeal these bad laws? NOW is the time to work together and create change. Spencer wrote three petitions to counteract the ordinances passed as a result of Tobacco 21: • Petition 022311 would change the tobacco purchase age from 21 back to 18 within city limits • Petition 022312 would remove e-cigs from the indoor ban • Petition 022313 would change the e-cig purchase age from 21 back to 18 within Columbia city limits We need more than 3,209 signatures turned in by January 5. All signatures are to be collected and self-verified by January 4. Petitions are currently available to be signed at Aqueous Vapor (https://aqueousvapor.com/), Midwest Vapor Lounge (https://www.facebook.com/MidwestVaporLounge) and Aardvarx (https://www.facebook.com/pages/Aardvarx/133479993369361?ref=ts&fref=ts). If you need to sign the petition please head to any of those locations during regular business hours! Don't forget to tell your friends to sign as well. We don't have much time, and we need all the support we can get on this campaign! Gary Nolan (http://garynolan.com/) supports the petition and is keeping his listeners informed about its progress. The repeal effort has also received coverage in the Columbia Missourian (http://www.columbiamissourian.com/a/182946/petitioners-fight-to-repeal-new-tobacco-ordinances/), the Columbia Tribune (http://www.columbiatribune.com/news/local/petitioners-seek-to-overturn-tobacco-e-cig-regulations/article_454bbe19-7c5b-5dbc-b9e8-47df0ac00dc3.html), KOMU (http://www.komu.com/news/columbia-citizens-seek-to-repeal-tobacco-e-cig-ordinances-64070/) and the St. Louis Post-Dispatch (http://interact.stltoday.com/pr/local-news/PR121814114519787). Nebraska, Oklahoma sue Colorado for cannabis legalization https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_9BTx3ajiGk Because cannabis remains illegal under federal law, the attorneys general of Nebraska and Oklahoma have filed a lawsuit to repeal its legalization in Colorado. Nebraska Attorney General Jon Bruning said he is tired of wasting law enforcement resources on patrolling his state's border. Spencer and Laurien offer a solution: legalize it.
