Her appointments and staff have been horrible.  [/quote]

Very much agree. I know so many great people in DC government—hard working folks who really know their policy areas well. But it seems like a lot of significant leadership failures have occurred in the past two years:
—Ongoing OUC failures affecting 911 dispatch
—Federal investigation of the DC Housing Authority
—Falciccio’s serial sexual harassment
—Christopher Rodriguez’s domestic violence arrest 
—No accredited crime lab or permanent agency director at Department of Forensic Science
—Record chronic truancy at DC Public Schools 
—Everett Lott’s short tenure at DDOT during which the mayor often undermined his policy expertise 
—Agencies going over six months and sometimes over a year without a permanent director—DC Health, For Hire Vehicles, Department of Licensing and Consumer Protection

I’m sure others could add more to the list.[/quote]

Honestly, why can’t she find director?  It’s the same thing with DFS. Just a revolving door of leadership. [/quote]

It's likely a terrible job that is under-resourced with a laundry list of problems to solve. The Director probably does not have the power to single-handedly solve the issues at hand and bureaucratic inertia in the other parts of government means the wheel just continue to spin without progress.

In short, once people get on the inside and see the degree of problems, they run for the hills. [/quote]
