100 groups press Peters to hold hearing on D.C. statehood


View Comments
More than 100 groups, including the Michigan American Civil Liberties Union, are urging U.S. Sen. Gary Peters to set a date for a hearing on D.C. statehood. 
In a letter led by the advocacy group 51 for 51, they note that the legislation in the Senate has more co-sponsors than ever at 44, including Peters. A companion bill passed the U.S. House last month along party lines, and the White House has said it supports the legislation. 
But to be considered in the Senate, the measure must first pass through the Committee on Homeland Security and Government Affairs, which Peters chairs.
