- Dorothy Brizill writes in themail that she has the story behind how that fire truck and ambulance really got donated to a beach town in the Dominican Republic: “David Jannarone, Director of Development in the Office of the Deputy Mayor … and Sinclair Skinner, as well as some of their friends and associates in and out of DC government, started traveling to Sosua frequently to party and have a good time. … using their influence, Jannarone and Skinner were able to have both vehicles inspected and repaired at DC government expense prior to being sent to the Dominican Republic.”
- Interesting story in the Washington Times about how the U.S. Capitol Police make filming movies anywhere around the Capitol a real pain in the neck. Examples from State of Play, National Treasure 2 and The West Wing.
- Mark Segraves digs in to the story of how some Capitol Hill residents are being ticketed for parking in their own driveways, which we first heard about from Hill Rat.
