[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I should say[i] further [/i]left. There is an article in the Post today about Jack Evan's historical function as a counter-weight to the leftist tendencies of the City Council. Yes, there is much to be learned about his activities, but in votes he was a counter-weight to runaway taxation etc. Apparently all the candidates for his replacement veer further left.  As we currently have a pro development Mayor cloaked in leftist language (at least Evans was honest about simply being pro-development), a remarkably soft on crime CouncilMember and the bloc that vote with him (Charles Allen etc.),plus a spike in homicides... there is a lot amiss with our lefty leadership. Is anyone else concerned about the current trajectory?[/quote]

I am shocked that no one is challenging the mayor. She is leaving a massive, massive opening for someone to run against her as a non-left-wing Democrat. People get tired of the DC government rushing to embrace every loony lefty idea they can find. [/quote]

Huh?  The mayor isn't up for election now.[/quote]
