One more update on Firetruckgate from the Examiner’s Michael Neibauer to end out the week. D.C. Attorney General Peter Nickles is now defending the mysterious donation of an older D.C. government firetruck and ambulance to a resort town in the Dominican Republic, saying that the vehicles were properly declared surplus by the Office of Contracting and Procurement and lawfully donated to non-profit Peaceaholics, the group that arranged the donation. Even so, both vehicles have since been returned to the District, to “assure that this transaction raises no further public concerns.” Fantastic quote from Ward 3 Council member Mary Cheh: “If all rules and regulations were followed, we need new rules and regulations.”
