[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]ANC 3C chair Nancy MacWood is pretty much the gold standard for ANC heads:  intelligent, diligent, fair and highly effective.  She runs rings around most DC officials because she learns s subject thoroughly.  A lot of us wish that she had run against Chen, but she didn’t.[/quote]

OMG no.

She is effective at running roughshod over her fellow commissioners and is stuck in 1986.  Her neighborhoods commercial district is suffering and she still thinks her main purpose in life is to keep CP from becoming another Adams Morgan.

She also has a very Republican version of states rights when it comes to ANC districts - if it is in her district then it is no one else's business what goes on there but if it is in someone else's district well then everyone had better do what she says because well she has been on the ANC for like 40 years now and knows best.  Even though she is utterly befuddled by how the city is changing for the better while her neighborhood is not.[/quote]
