[quote=Anonymous][quote]DC had a very brief experience with competent technocratic government. We're returning to a more traditional crony system [/quote] This. Except for Tony Williams, DC has ALWAYS been a crony system. Barry was terrible because his cronies were not only corrupt but incompetent. Fenty's cronies were corrupt but at least had the good sense to subcontract their contracts to actual competent contractors---they were just skimming their markup. Because DC is not a state, there is no upwards mobility for would be pols---you can't be an actual representative or senator. People with serious political chops and ambition leave the Hill and go to their home state and run for office. [/quote]
