What is H. Con. Res. 88?
(Updated January 31, 2017)
Permits the Greater Washington Soap Box Derby Association to sponsor soap box derby races as a free public event on the Capitol grounds on June 14, 2014.
Argument in favor
NASCAR without the carbon footprint.
Argument opposed
Who doesn't like a good derby?
Impact
Would affect soapbox derby racers' dreams of making it big, in addition to Beltway traffic.
Cost of H. Con. Res. 88
Because the Greater Washington Soap Box Derby Association (yes, there is one) would assume responsibility for all expenses and liabilities associated with the event, the CBO estimates that passage of H. Con. Res. 88 would result in no significant cost to the federal government.
