Good morning, Washington. I don’t know about you, but I enjoy my revenge served cold and with a healthy dose of humor. And so my heart was warmed reading the Post’s hilarious recounting of a Prince George’s County man who, annoyed that he received a robocall at 4:30 a.m. announcing a two-hour school delay, went ahead and put together his own robocall — which members of the county’s school leadership received at 4:30 a.m.

Brown Wants to Raise Taxes, But Isn’t Paying Taxes: Our D.C. Council seems to have a problem with personal finances. The Post digs up the incredible story of Councilmember Michael Brown’s (I-At Large) failure to pay over $14,000 in property taxes, despite his sustained advocacy for a tax hike to cover the District’s growing deficit. Brown’s troubles make him the third member of the Council to face financial troubles, alongside Chair Kwame Brown and Councilmember Marion Barry (D-Ward 8). And though the story highlights the complexity of Brown’s financial situation — he has disputed the tax bill — it also points out that the councilmember pulls in $250,000 in income above and beyond his $125,000 council salary. (Colleagues David Catania and Jack Evans also take in extra pay from lucrative outside gigs.) Brown and his wife own a $1.4 million home in Chevy Chase.

Klein Considering Council Run: The guy behind some of the District’s most progressive transit policies may be eying elected office, reports the Post. Gabe Klein, who served as director of the D.C. Department of Transportation, is said to be considering running for an open At-Large seat on the D.C. Council. Klein would join a field that is fast becoming a crowd — 15 people have picked up petitions to get on the ballot so far, including interim Councilmember Sekou Biddle — but would be one of only two candidates closely associated with fomer Mayor Adrian Fenty. (Josh Lopez, who ran the insurgent write-in campaign in November, is the other.) The special election is scheduled for April 26.

No Taxation Plate Has Lost Impact: One of the District’s shadow senators believes that the ubiquitous “Taxation Without Representation” license plate has lost its impact, writes the Examiner. At a meeting yesterday to discuss renaming part of Pennsylvania Avenue as a means to protest the District’s on-going second-class status, Sen. Paul Strauss let it be known that the license plate, originally rolled out in 2000, isn’t making as strong a point as it used to. But what’s the alternative? Last year Shadow Representative Mike Panetta proposed a “51st State” license plate; I’m partial to the more direct, though wordy option, “Well, this whole not voting thing totally blows, huh?” or even the more current, “No Votes = Blood Libel.” What would you like to see on a new license plate?

Briefly Noted: Many different views highlight diversity of experiences in Prince George’s County…Interim Metro chief praised for work, could become full-time director…Two people die in early-morning crash on Canal Road…MLK Memorial about 70 percent done.

This Day in DCist: On this day in 2010, a court ruled against a vote on same-sex marriage in D.C. and we reacted to Metro Chief John Catoe’s surprise resignation. In 2009, soon-to-be President Obama played basketball at Marie Reed and WTOP’s Mark Segraves was booted from a D.C. Council meeting.
