Andy Harris is a U.S. Congressman from Maryland who just led the
charge to overturn the will of Washington D.C. voters by inserting
language into Congress' spending bill that prevents the District from
implementing the referendum they passed to legalize recreational
marijuana in the 2014 midterm election. That referendum passed with 70% of the vote on Election Day.
"This is just a little political protest that we have here, and we
think in general this is a sentiment that is District-wide," said Brian
Ward, the sales manager at Capital Hill Bikes, which banned the
Congressman. "It's not even just about Initiative 71 but more generally
speaking about how Congress likes to stick their noses in the District's
affairs."
