Bowser shreds DC Council for rejecting juvenile curfew bill

Washington, D.C., Mayor Muriel Bowser bashed the Council of the District of Columbia for initially rejecting a bill establishing juvenile curfew zones.

An unusual series of events unfolded in the D.C. Council on Tuesday over a bill to extend special juvenile curfew zones. The Bowser-supported bill, introduced to curb epidemic violent youth crime, was initially rejected by the council. Then the council went on recess for a closed-door meeting where they received calls from Bowser, revived the bill, and ultimately put off a final decision, the Washington Post reported.
