Ward 3 D.C. Council member Mary Cheh circulated a list of proposals to her colleagues today that was made up entirely of outlandish jokes. From establishing a “Peeps Ceremonial Fund” to a “revenue neutral” suggestion that a Starbucks be constructed inside the John A. Wilson Building, Cheh apparently thought the Council could stand a little humor to lighten their heavy, budget-related burden this week. Hard to argue that she’s wrong on that score.
Our favorite line in the memo? “If you have any questions, please do not contact me or my staff. Please dial 311.”
