This is not an utterance, it is an official action that requires a government response.

If he's such a troll, why amplify him, even with his "official actions"?

You all have Goulet on the brain for some baffling reason, and it's amusing.

Interesting you find it amusing. He is wasting city resources with this filing and will likely cost those accused of wrongdoing, at a minimum of their time and possible legal expenses to defend this frivolous allegation. The sworn testimony gathered by OCF already negated these allegations, so basically this is like the GOP Kraken.

If you ignore him, he'll go away. He just wants the attention, clearly, and a whole lot of posters here are taking the bait.

The Elissastans in Ward 3 find him to be like evil catnip or something.

He's an elected official in Ward 3 now, so he isn't going away no matter how much we try to ignore him.

He ran and lost and then ran for the next available position. He's not going anywhere. He's going to run against Matt as soon as he can. He doesn't know the first thing about DCPS and it's crystal clear every time he opens his mouth. He appealed to the NIMBYs in Foxhall to get elected and now we're stuck with him. His first step was to set up a bunch of working groups for things most DCPS and charter parents in the area are unified on-total energy vampire move-just like the DM of ED and Chancellor. They have a brand and they really stick with it.

What concerns me the most is that he's taking a myopic approach to ward 3 problems and seems to be ignoring the citywide patterns that contribute to some of our biggest issues. His "solutions" seem to involve resource hoarding and are either too big to work or too small to correct the true issue.

Good thing the job is basically powerless. I just don't want him to get in the way of the people who are actually doing the work.

He wouldn't have beaten Frumin this year and he won't in four years. People are on to his game and do not like it or him.

I'm surprised no one has mentioned that he doesn't pay property taxes on his backyard. Does everyone here know why?

It's not his back yard. It's city-owned land that abuts his property.

Do you know where he lives? See if you can guess

That he and all of his neighbors use as their back yard. (And their drive ways too)

He's much better than others nearby. I'm pro the city cracking down, but they never have and never will.

So here is the story. Everyone from Galena Place going North on Sherier Pl to the Dalecarlia Reservoir do not own most of their backyards (and in many cases have incorporated city own land into their front driveway)
This is because the streetcar use to run behind their house.....the one that went from Georgetown to Glen Echo Park.
When the line went defunct, the residents just incorporated the land into their houses.
So while Eric has what looks like a full backyard behind his house, he might own 1/4 of it. The rest is the streetcar line. And he and the rest of them doesn't pay property taxes on it.
And the city hasn't done anything about it.
I think the law says the city cannot force anyone to take the land.
However they could fence it off which they haven't bothered to do.
And now you know

That looks like it would make a great trail for jogging/walking

It is! I highly recommend it, all the way from Foxhall to the reservoir. Take a look at a map to make sure you don't lose the path at a couple intersections.

The area mentioned probably would not make for any type of great trail. Then again if the city fenced off the backyards and made it so everyone could walk from Galena to the Dalecarlia Reservoir, then who knows.....it might be something. But I doubt it.
Either way, he's getting a backyard for free.
