>> "I saw firsthand the fragile relationship that exists between Mayor Fenty and the City Council Members. I heard tales of a delayed Comprehensive Annual Financial Review , rising murder rates and a Chief of Police who feels burdened by a system that won't help her, proposals to close staff entrances at City Hall permanently, and yes the now infamous blow out between Fenty and several council members one of whom dropped the F-Bomb on the Mayor over the Mayor's plan to close 26 schools."

Protesters complained that because the ballpark contract requires union workers, a large number of minorities were left out of the hiring.
So maybe they should join the union? I don't see how they're going to get this work unless the ballpark contract gets rewritten to include non-union labor. And I don't think the unions are going to roll over and play dead for that one.
Good to know that Q Street is still rockin the hookers and crack. Now, if they'd only open a duckpin bowling alley, I'd never leave.

Aren't most of the DC Government employees also NOT residents of DC? Join a union, live in MD and demand a job in DC!!!
