The PBCCA Bylaws Subcommittee has been busy during the COVID-19 pandemic finalizing a draft copy of the PBCCA Bylaws to send out to the community.

As of August 24, 2020, DRAFT versions of the following documents are ready for the community to review and comment.

• PBCCA Updated Bylaws & Election Timeline
• Draft Updated PBCCA Bylaws (clean copy)
• Draft Updated PBCCA Bylaws (annotated copy)

Thank you.

DC Raises Taxes
on Retired Military,
Teachers, Others…

Support us by emailing your council
member today!

Nearly 40,000 retired military veterans,
postal workers, firefighters, police officers,
teachers and other federal and DC civil servants just lost
a tax benefit that DC repealed without notice.
The Pension Benefit Exclusion—a law in force for 57
years—allowed retired public servants to exclude $3000
from income when calculating their local taxes. The DC
Council repealed the exclusion without notice, surprising
many seniors when they filed their 2015 returns.

Support the effort by emailing your council member today!
