[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Who does she have around her helping her? I think her team could be stronger but I think she does the best job she can do. [/quote]

No one is helping her. The Mayor's Office of Legal Counsel (MOLC) is weak and largely absent and when they show up, they are seen horribly fumbling their way through press conferences (where her comms person??). Her Chief of Staff, Lindsay Parker, has the personality of an empty paint can so doesn't have the same persuasive smoothness as Johnny Business.  The Mayor also inherited some Fenty leftovers who were horrible the first go around and have only deteriorated in value the more time has passed. She needs a re-fresh. She needs media savvy, Republican friendly lobbyists to lobby for the District on her behalf. She needs an astute comms person who is quick on his/her feet and has a wide variety of media contacts. She also needs sharper legal staff at her finger tips. One of the benefits of the AG position being an appointed position back in the day is he was able to provide unfettered legal advice to the Mayor on a wide range of issues, which she needs. Now, she just has hangers on working in that office that have the legal acumen of my fungus infected baby toe.[/quote]

Why is MOLC so bad and what are they supposed to do that they are not doing? Why can’t she still get legal advice from the AG and what is the difference between the AG and MOLC? You mentioned her Chief of Staff Lindsay Parker, but what about her Deputy Mayors, advisors and the City Administrator? I see those people with her more during appearances. Are they helpful?[/quote]
