Washington D.C. Finally does something Right, new plan for Family Leave

Given how much stuff they mess up, it’s always refreshing to see Congress actually do something right.

Legislators have introduced a new bill into debate that would make Washington DC the first city in the country to provide 16-weeks of paid family time, to allow for the birth or adoption of a child, recuperation from military deployment, or care for a sick/injured family member. The bill seeks to allow employees who earn less than $52,000 to be paid, in full, during the 16 weeks of leave.

Kudos, Congress.
