New Arlington County Manager Michael BrownWe’ve already got an At-large member of the D.C. Council named Michael A. Brown and a Shadow Senator named Michael D. Brown. But ARLnow reminds us that there’s now a third Michael Brown in the local politics sphere: Michael B. Brown, the new Arlington County Manager, participated in his first county board meeting Saturday morning.
Wikipedia reveals an overabundance of Michael Browns across the country and indeed, the world. There’s the current mayor of Grand Forks, North Dakota. There’s also the former Speaker of the Legislative Assembly of Ontario. And who could forget former FEMA director Michael “Heckuva Job” Brown?
Browns of the world, do us all a favor in the coming generation: Pick some name other than Michael for your sons.
If you’d like to get to know the newest Michael Brown in town, Arlington County is hosting a public reception for the new county manager tonight from 5 – 8 p.m. at 2100 Clarendon Blvd. RSVP to countyboard (at) arlingtonva.us.
