The first community meeting of the Southwest Neighborhood Assembly (SWNA) in the new year will take place at Arena Stage on Monday, January 27 at 7:00 p.m. All are welcome as we present information on two topics of interest: “Home Rule” and the “Strengthening Traffic Enforcement, Education and Responsibility Act,” known as STEER, which went into effect as of October 1, 2024.
STEER is new legislation that gives our DC Attorney General the ability to collect overdue fines, not only from drivers in DC, but Maryland and Virginia and could add much needed revenue to our coffers. Ward 6 Councilmember Charles Allen has accepted our invitation and we will add elected officials and community activists with subject expertise, who will speak to us and answer our questions. Please plan to join us.
