[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]it's too bad former Chair MacWood used her last meeting after 22 years to salt the earth to prevent the incoming ANC from getting anything done.  Her legacy hasn't been great for the District, but she seemed to be classy enough to not go full sour grapes.  Being in the minority for 2 years seems to have broken her.

We're all quite lucky to be done with Commissioner Maureen Boucher.  Regardless of where anyone stood on any issue, she stood more firmly on a misunderstanding than anyone else.  There were times when she was treasurer where there seemed to be genuine concern that commissioners might go to jail due to her incompetence.  Her refusal to admit publicly that ANC 3C had something like $10,000 stolen from it through false checks would have been amusing if it hadn't had been so sad. On top of that, the videos of ANC 3C show her jumping in, confused, on many issues.

I don’t think we were at the same meeting. At every turn, MacWood showed grace and class, and continued to lend her expertise. In contrast, Beau Finley, the chair, withdrew the resolutions honoring MacWood for her 22 years of service to the community and another retiring commissioner’s 16 years of service in a petty, retaliatory fit of pique when his ruling about the commissioner behavior resolution was overturned. When another commissioner reintroduced the resolutions honoring the service, the chair abruptly turned off Zoom, removing everyone from the meeting. Eventually the other commissioners returned to Zoom and reconvened, but Finley and Pagatts did not. It’s not about bike lanes or the configuration of Connecticut Avenue, but about the temperament and ethics of those who are serving and whether we can have confidence in their decision making. Commissioner Siddiqui should be given credit for showing back up and continuing the meeting. He has potential if he can detach himself from some of those around him. [/quote]
