What’s odd is that they did not take away the ability for delegates to vote on the committee of the whole (so, on amendments), which they usually do. It makes this move seem even more petty and bizarre.

You sound like you've followed this for a while ... did the Mayor have unfettered access to the House floor under prior Speakers? If so, how many?

The context here is that Governors have access to the floor, so this was a way to bring parity to DC, PR, ect.

Honestly, I don’t know when they first adopted the parity rule or if it’s gone back and forth much. The voting is more important so it’s what’s get the most attention.

Got it. DC / PR / Guam / CNMI are also not states so makes sense they wouldn't have access.

This all sounds like much ado about nothing. Save the ammo for a real fight.

No one is using any ammo or anything, but it is just a reflection of disrespect
