Some DC ANC commissioners happily accept free food and drink from establishments in their areas. This is not allowed and is problematic because the ANC can weigh in on sidewalk cafe permits, liquor licenses, hours of operation, etc. It’s probably too petty to be prosecuted but needs to stop nonetheless. |
Given the recent Supreme Court ruling on gratuities, it’s not clear that the DC AG or anyone else could prosecute them even if they wanted to. But it is shady behavior and those doing this - providers and recipients - should be named and shamed. |
Am a tad less concerned about a few free drinks than I am about an ANC commissioner and his cronies stealing over $9.3 million , inflating employee numbers , creating fake bank statements , false tax returns , using stolen identities to make fraudulent unemployment claims and housing equipment to make fraudulent docs, blank check paper , card stock and holograms used for passports, driver licenses and more … |
Buck is a racist term. Google "buck breaking" - it has to do with the emasculation of black men during slave times. You are a buffoon btw. |
The person is clearly a troll trying to make a farce of what is a very serious matter |
This aint got nothing to do with force. This is about people coming down on others trying to do right in the community. T slip up and done something maybe he wasnt suppose to do. You forget about all the good cause everyone riding him. So what he took some money from a contractor- it wasnt money going to DC anyway. He did not take any money from DC. And what he done dont effect the services still being provided to communities. |
If you’re a troll, the way that troll posting, including how the troll pretends to write English, could be perceived as bigoted and baiting. It has certainly shut down the discussion because no one including me wants to unwittingly put a foot wrong.
Thankfully FBI has no such qualms |
The contractor gave him 3% of what they were paying services for. He literally stole from DC. |
You know he is 40 and has been in office for 8 years? Not exactly young and had plenty of time to make a difference, his ward has gone to crap as far as death from violence. So yeah . . . about that. |
Sure, a well run and supervised program could work. A program created for grift won’t work and may put its employees at risk. |
Violence interruption is the brain fart of a bunch of PhDs with no metrics. Also, how are the violence interrupters supposed to lead fulfilling lives? They are required to stay entrenched in crime and make under $50k annually. They put their lives at risk and risk falling back into the crime. Never forget Davon McNeal, the 11 year old taken out by gang violence at a cook out that his mother, who was a violence interrupter, hosted. |
Even if Trey did good deeds for his neighborhood isn't he supposed to? With that, being a politician he break ethics laws and who knows what else, residency? |
It’s not in fact. It’s a brainchild of an arrested wife beater vying for government contract. There is no evidence or PhDs etc |
Ward 8 has always been a social dumpster-fire with failing schools. |
Yeah Trayon White is the mastermind of violence interrupter programs . . . We all believe that |
