Council tempers flare over Internet gambling

Council members David Catania and Michael Brown got into a shouting match over Internet gambling during the D.C. Council’s monthly breakfast Tuesday. Catania, an at-large member, grew visibly agitated after Brown, also at-large, said he was proposing an amendment that would kill a repeal of the gambling measure.

“This isn’t even an 11th hour amendment,” Catania said. “An 11th hour suggests you have a little bit of time. This is two hours before a legislative session.”
