I dont think so. I'm supporting @DionneforDC someone that supports the restaurant community and doesn't vote for lobbyists groups interests from outside #DC #initiative77 to push their agenda. Also, a candidate endorsed by @washingtonpost
DC voters, if you support paid family leave, a councilmember who respects your vote & voice, and who takes on the entrenched big-money special interests who want to spend your money on their needs, I ask for your vote. If you’re for the status quo of inequity, go w @PostOpinions.
Tipped Worker Karim Soumah had this to say, “I’m glad that @councilofdc hopefully laid the issue around the tipped credit system to rest – it works here in DC. Now our industry can get back to focusing on what we pride ourselves on, providing great service and fare...” #Repeal77 – at Washington, DC

The DC Council approved the bill to Repeal #Initiative77 at required second and final vote, by a tally of 8-5. The repeal bill now goes to @MayorBowser for her signature.

CM @BrianneKNadeau we are disappointed in your vote not to support the workers and #SmallBusiness owners of your Ward. But we are even more dismayed by your flippant comment that you would use the copies of thousands of messages we delivered to you as a doorstop. #Initiative77 – at Washington, DC
Councilmembers @ChmnMendelson @JackEvansWard2 @cmdgrosso @VinceGrayWard7 @CM_McDuffie @AnitaBondsDC @CMBrandonTodd @trayonwhite just voted to protect the take home pay of tens of thousands of tipped workers and the viability of neighborhood #smallbusinesses. #Initiative77
.@marycheh, though your speech was nice, you made no attempt to reach out to #SmallBusiness owners and workers to truly hear their concerns. – at Washington, DC
No @tweetelissa, you didn’t listen to tipped workers or #SmallBusiness owners. We asked you to #Repeal77, and you chose an electoral gimmick that still did harm to the hospitality industry and the workers that are employed in it. – at Washington, DC
Tipped Workers once again have packed the chamber as the @councilofdc votes for a second time to #Repeal77.

THE ACTUAL FACTS: DC Council Mbr Elissa Silverman has long advocated outlawing the tip-wage system, despite equally longstanding opposition by the vast preponderance of local tipped employees fighting to protect their jobs, livelihoods, incomes.

.@tweetelissa did not vote for repeal b/c she did not want to override voters, esp given lack of statehood

On this long weekend, we would like to give a long #ThankYou to Chairman @ChmnMendelson for his leadership in bringing all sides together to address problems with #Initiative77 while making progress on issues of sexual harassment and non-wage compliance. Leaders Lead.
.@VinceGrayWard7 you broke bread with workers and operators - let’s make this happen East of the River. – at Washington, DC

I’m speaking on behalf of my experience and knowing what the “books” of multiple small businesses look like and their ability to survive this increase. This isn’t a theoretical debate. This is about people’s livelihoods - a livelihood I don’t think you can relate to.
.@kojoshow, the coalition of hospitality workers who spoke out against #initiative77 reflect the diversity of this community. To characterize it any different way is a disservice to the hard working men and women who are a vital part of our service industry. – at Washington, DC
