Politico.com is reporting that D.C. Mayor Vincent Gray has been arrested at Capitol Hill while protesting the current budget deal proposed by House Republicans in Congress. Gray, a GW alumnus, was among a crowd of more than 200 protestors who gathered near the Hart Senate Office Building to oppose the deal. Other members of the D.C. City Council were also arrested.
President Barack Obama is expected to support the proposed budget deal publicly at a press conference at GW's own Jack Morton Auditorium on Wednesday.
