[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Murial is plain not very smart.

She was an ANC commissioner who rode the "green team" to fill Fenty's council seat when he became mayor.

After his criming was exposed, Vince Grey was elected. He was a great council chair and mayor. He got begrimed with lies about corruption to open the door for Murial and the return of the "green team" to office.

She brought mostly Fenty holdovers with her and over time, they have turned out to go on to bigger and better things and the replacement have gotten worse and worse, and going back to the opening line, Murial isn't very bright and she has no vision. The last election didn't catalyze any new ideas  or new people, just 'vote for me and get more of the same' except we aren't getting more of the same, we are getting the C team or the D team.

It is time for new leadership, new vision, and most important, an understanding of what DC really needs and a vision for the future.[/quote]

Agree with this.  Bowser talks in platitudes but she is not the brightest bulb.  The fact is that, while her insight and judgment have not grown during her time in office, that she's become more arrogant and dismissive of others' opinions in recent years.

There is one area where Bowser has distinguished herself.  Even by DC crony standards, Bowser's shameless pandering to developers is troubling.  The crony deals, the way developers and their counsel write the agencies' agendas is troubling, but the worst are the shady "public-private partnership" deals with developers and the payment of super premium rents to questionable real estate landlords for her voucher program.  That program has also spread "crime for all" to formerly safe DC neighborhoods.  She has to go.[/quote]
