Thank You @councilofdc for Supporting The Tipped Worker Community - https://t.co/7wVds2Lnne - @ChmnMendelson @AnitaBondsDC @cmdgrosso @JackEvansWard2 @CMBrandonTodd @CM_McDuffie @trayonwhite. #Initiative77

[What's So Funny? 🗨 @Hetche]

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

@Ana_ExAFLCIO @MrsTipCredit @JakeRosenfeld1 @NelpNews DC Voters chose years ago to pass an initiative that imposed max/min sentencing for drug offenses, and the Council overturned it. We can't seem to find a record of outcries from you.

[Save Our Tips @saveourtips]

@Ana_ExAFLCIO @MrsTipCredit @JakeRosenfeld1 @NelpNews It is amazing in only 240 characters you can articulate so clearly how uninformed you are as to the sentiment the working men and woman in the hospitality industry have towards #Initiative77.

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

[NO2DC77 @NO2DC77]

WORKERS WIN!
****TODAY****
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.

@DanielFordDC @BrianneKNadeau It was wrong, and she was tone deaf as to how it would be interpreted. She should apologize.

[Save Our Tips @saveourtips]

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

[Save Our Tips @saveourtips]

@DanielFordDC @BrianneKNadeau She represents all in her ward, and if you condone any elected official telling their constituents whether or not they agree with them that their direct messages mean no more than dead weight than you have lost sight of the bigger picture.

@SeanHolihan And we will follow the million dollars raised by ROC United. #followthemoney

[Save Our Tips @saveourtips]

@M4RJNow Well we guess the million dollars raised by ROC United was just Monopoly Money.

[Save Our Tips @saveourtips]

@SeanHolihan The tipped workers who make up the core of those opposed to #initiative77 think a little differently.

[Save Our Tips @saveourtips]

@DCJWJ @CM_Silverman @marycheh @BrianneKNadeau @RobertWhite_DC @charlesallen @councilofdc Their votes have been recorded and noted.

[Save Our Tips @saveourtips]

@LauraHayesDC Workers are certainly disappointed in votes casted by @BrianneKNadeau @CMCharlesAllen and @RobertWhite_DC.

[Save Our Tips @saveourtips]

@LauraHayesDC @tweetelissa If it was a better fit, the majority of her councilmembers, DC tipped workers and #smallbusinessowners would have supported her.

[Save Our Tips @saveourtips]

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

[Save Our Tips @saveourtips]

.@marycheh, though your speech was nice, you made no attempt to reach out to #SmallBusiness owners and workers to truly hear their concerns.

[Save Our Tips @saveourtips]

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.

[Save Our Tips @saveourtips]

Tipped Workers once again have packed the chamber as the @councilofdc votes for a second time to #Repeal77.
