During its first meeting of the year on Jan. 8, the D.C. Council will consider asking President Barack Obama to display the District's"Taxation Without Representation" license plates on his official vehicles.
The aim of the meeting, according to Council member Mary Cheh, is to have the governing body approve the resolution prior to Obama's inauguration on Jan. 21.
The "Taxation Without Representation" phrase was placed on District license tags in 2000 to call attention to its lack of a voting voice in Congress. While President Bill Clinton attached the plates on his limousine, his successors have not followed his lead.
