The sentences later courts lift from this opinion, ranked by how many decisions quote each — the parts of the opinion doing the work. These counts are smaller than the citation total above because most of the 1 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“Councilmember [Wilhelmina] Rolark noted that these types of reductions were devastating, because they "hit the most vulnerable of our population, the poor." She further noted that she understood that we are in a budget crisis, and inquired as to whether this bill was one of those budget conformity pieces of legislation. Chairman [H.R.] Crawford responded in the affirmative. Mr. Crawford further indicated that this bill was requested by the Executive and that some of the difference in the public assistance reductions would be off-set in the allocation of [flood] [s]tamps . . . . Mr. Crawford further reminded the Committee that he had to work within the funds that "were allocated to the human services budget, that we did not allow the workers of the District of Columbia a COLA, or pay an increase in the last 2 years." He noted that everyone must participate in the terrible budgetary crisis we are facing in the District. Councilmember Rolark indicated that she understood and commended the chairman for having worked hard to off-set the reductions.”
