Many people know heat can be dangerous. Fewer know how to recognize when it can become a medical emergency.

Know the difference between Heat Exhaustion and Heat Stroke - and what to do for each.

What an amazing 4th of July parade in Capitol Hill! So glad to have @Janeese4DC @RobertWhite_DC & @ChmnMendelson join me! Barracks Row was packed, @EasternHS Marching Band set the tone, & the jam session with Too Much Talent and a marching band from Nebraska was epic.

I appreciate that building and protecting the reserve funds is the CFO's policy view, but the CFO does not have the authority to make a policy decision that the Council may not use local reserves to support appropriations. My full letter below or at: https://t.co/0cNQrK8V7o
