[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Janeese Lewis George is the face of soft-on-crime policies in Washington D.C. She's up for reelection next year. Throw her out and send a message. [/quote]

Changing the composition of the Council won't really do much except assuage some feelings for about 5 minutes. And then you're still stuck with a broken USAO. [/quote]

Except that's all BS.

The mayor and the city council have all the power they need to crack down on crime. We don't need to blame our problems on some unaccountable bogeyman behind the curtain.

Bower and the police department have offered a million proposals, only to see them shot down by the city council.

JLG knows her pro-crime policies are wildly unpopular and she's in danger of losing her primary next year, so now her office is pretending the city council is actually powerless when it comes to crime. [/quote]
