Woah! A bit offhand but it sounds like @ChmnMendelson also just said on The Politics Hour that he plans to revive the council's education committee. He's kept education under his Committee of the Whole for years, much to the chagrin of advocates, so this would be a big shift.

Yesterday I wrote a letter to Rep. Comer opposing tomorrow's meeting to adopt the "DC Taxing Authority Review Act." Congress already has the authority to disapprove tax increases adopted by the Council. This bill would straightjacket the District and paralyze our tax code.
