[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Krukoff.  And I’ve never voted Republican before.  Frumin seems like a decent and knowledgeable guy.  But we don’t need 13 Frumins on the Council.  We desperately need some diversity of thought to prevent the progressives from turning DC into the next Portland or SF which are completely unlivable for families.  [/quote]

Agree with this -  there needs to be more balance on how to manage the nuts and bolts of the city and not just pushing policies that don't really address the issues the city is facing but rack up political points - Frumin might be good with a different council but he seems like he would not stand  up to Elissa Silverman, Briane Nadeau etc.. who are putting sound bites over taking care of the city[/quote]

Why?

The city has a $6,5B rainy day surplus fund and a AAA bond rating.

These are impressive per capital metrics that any Governor would be envious of.[/quote]

Yes, but any real Governor who woke up this morning and saw that a major employer (HHS) decided to permanently allow people to work from home and understands that when commercial leases next come up for renewal that their one and only downtown will contract by 30%, would have pooped their pants.  DC will blow through that $6B in about a year on stuff like free metro cards, violence interrupters, and bike lanes.  Might be nice to have someone with actual business experience on the Council when that happens.  [/quote]

Except that DC has been operating with a surplus for years. The city is in great shape financially.

Republicans create deficits, then leave Democrats to clean up the mess. A vote for a Republican like Krucoff is a vote for less financial discipline, not more.[/quote]
Do you know something that the DC CFO does not? Without recession, FY23 revenues are projected to decline 2%. Do you see the council looking to make budget cuts? [/quote]
