[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm annoyed the mayor is setting aside so much money for illegal immigrant legal fees. What is this magic bucket of money the council.and mayor keep dipping into?.[/quote]

The certainty that the Council has really never met a tax increase it didn't like.  You know what they'll do to cover any federal funding shortfall.  [/quote]

this,  Lets see, Grosso wants all bus rides to be free so DC can now fuurther subsidize non dc residents.  Gray is proposing DOUBLING the salary of cops retiring to get them to stay on. Cause paying 200k for a 55 year old cop is a much better investment then recruiting new younger talent.  
the one good thing Trump could do? Turn DC into a tax haven. No federal taxes.  I would gladly get over voting rights or statehood for that perk.[/quote]

Actually, I was listening to the Kojo show on Friday and the increase for Police Officers actually makes sense.  They are losing droves of officers to retirement and they can't hire them fast enough.  They are trying.  They've even opened a high school academy, but I believe you need a college degree here.  Other jurisdictions are in the same boat.  Because it's more expensive to train new ones, they would pay officers to stay an additional 5 years and they would get the increase in the 5th year.  Officers retire with 75% of their pay so there is no reason for them to stay.  Also, they can go to the feds after retirement, which is what many of them do.
