LinkElectionsLinks Washington Post: Elissa Silverman defends paid leave law at D.C. Council candidate forum By Editor On Sep 28, 2018 Last updated Oct 23, 2018 36 Share D.C. Council member Elissa Silverman (I-At Large) on Thursday sparred with Dionne Reeder, an independent challenger who recently gained the backing of Mayor Muriel Bowser (D),over the sweeping paid family and medical leave law that Silverman co-sponsored. Their contest, the most competitive race of the November general election, has turned into a referendum on the 2016 law, which levies a .62 percent payroll tax on employers to fund a government-run benefits program.
