He voted no for specific reasons. I am not going to say I agree with him, but I understood where he was coming from and if he can get what he was asking for, then it is better for the project and city.

It’s embarrassing. I expect my ward rep to show up to work.

Do you go into your office every day? Never teleworked a day in your life?

No. But I’m not in elected office. I didn’t ask anyone to put their trust in me.

+1. There’s a lot of us in Ward 3 that are skeptical of his judgment on policy issues. He does not seem concerned that blight continues to get worse under his leadership. He doesn’t seem up to this job.

That’s good enough for me. I don’t care where he voted no from, as long as he voted no.


We have THREE council members with integrity. That’s it. He’s one of them.

+1 from Ward 3

That is entirely separate from OP’s and the PP’s complaint that Frumin voted remotely. He voted, despite being on vacation. He did his job. Complaining that he voted remotely is stupid.

Complaining about how he voted on this or any other legislation is another conversation.

I don’t really care that he voted remotely, though it’s a horrible look. I DO care that he voted in person for that ridiculous crime bill and to legalize street vending. He’s like a socialist Manchurian candidate that is doing the bidding of the socialists at the expense of his own Ward.

+1. I don’t get what his deal is. He seems more interested in helping potential “future” Ward 3 residents rather than those that have lived here for decades.

Great. But that’s another thread.

Frumin’s challenge is that he’s afraid of confrontation. He always will seek a “collaborative” solution. But, the problem is that the collaborative solution generally involves Ward 3 residents paying more taxes, accepting criminals from other Wards, and overcrowding Ward 3 schools with kids from around the city. We’re tired of his solution.

How is that related to where he was when he recently voted?

He did, just like millions of others who used technology to do it. Do you really think it matters that he did it from somewhere other than the Council chambers?

Yeah, but remote work is killing DC commercial estate which has led to downgrading our bonds and a new budget that will raise taxes on the rich and cut services for the poor. Matt’s like: “hold my beer.”

New Yorker magazine is the source you rely on for analysis of police reform legislation? Do you even hear yourself?

We don’t need the council. And likely won’t have it much longer. Problem solved.

Frumin will never get our vote again

(As an aside: for those of you quick to point out that anyone concerned with civility and crime must live in a $4m house in “Barnaby Woods”, you have no idea what you’re talking about and don’t live in DC. Barnaby Woods is not on anyone’s list of nice neighborhoods.)

From the Post today. This is why Frumin lost my vote:

“The D.C. Council fell prey to “defund the police” hysteria during the tumultuous summer of 2020 and passed an overhaul of the criminal code in 2023, over the mayor’s veto, that would have made the city far more dangerous.“
