The report says Del. Eleanor Holmes Norton held a virtual news conference opposing the GOP disapproval effort, calling it fiscal sabotage and warning it would reverse the expected D.C. child tax credit, reduce anticipated revenue, and disrupt tax filing.

Norton publicly fought the congressional disapproval effort before House passage, but the evidence is opposition/advocacy rather than successful prevention of Senate passage.

The House passed the GOP disapproval resolution 215-210. The article states the resolution would block D.C.'s decoupling from Trump tax provisions and also block funding for a local child tax credit and expanded earned income tax credit. It also reports the measure had advanced out of a Senate committee.

The disapproval resolution advanced despite opposition, reaching the Senate path Norton sought to fight.

The report says Congress voted to overturn D.C.'s tax law, with the Senate passing the disapproval resolution 49-47. It states the action blocks funding for a local child tax credit and expanded earned income tax credit and was not subject to the Senate filibuster.

The Senate passed the disapproval resolution, so the promise to fight Senate passage was not fulfilled as an outcome.

The article reports that Trump signed the disapproval resolution into law, but D.C. Attorney General Brian Schwalb argued Congress missed the Home Rule Act deadline and that the resolution did not repeal the D.C. tax policy. It also describes the D.C. law as decoupling from federal tax cuts and setting aside revenue for earned income and child tax credits.

After Senate passage and presidential signature, D.C. officials disputed the legal effect. That dispute may affect whether the local tax law survived, but it does not undo the fact that Senate passage occurred.
