Former D.C. mayor Adrian Fenty may very well be spending some time in the near future raking in the dough as a motivational speaker/education reform advocate, but that isn’t his real post-mayoral calling. Philadelphia-based consulting firm Heffler, Radetich & Saitta LLP announced this morning that Fenty would be joining their ranks as “an outside advisor and counsel.”

Fenty won’t be going anywhere — he’ll be operating out of the firm’s “Washington platform,” which I suspect is just a highfalutin way of saying he’ll have a desk and a chair in D.C. and be making a lot of phone calls to wealthy Washingtonians. What landed Fenty the job? The corporate-talk lauds Fenty’s “efficient, honest and dynamic leadership,” and boasts about how Fenty “improve[d] the schools, brought the crime rate in the city down substantially, and pushed through civil rights legislation, culminating in legalizing same-sex marriage in the District of Columbia with the bill he signed in December 2009.”

Of additional interest: Mike DeBonis notes that the man who hired Fenty was Jerry L. Johnson, who just so happens to be a member of Kappa Alpha Psi, just like Fenty and his cadre of frat buddies who spent a whole lot of the city’s money while Fenty was in office.
