[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This thread doesn’t seem very productive due to the person/people that just keeps repeatedly posting that Lewis George “hates charters.” You are not interested in real debate or conversation, you’re wrong, and it’s annoying.

Anyone engaged on the issue of education in DC should have nuanced takes on charters; you clearly don’t, and so I suspect your motive here is not to encourage anyone to have a thoughtful debate nor is it to share accurate information. [/quote]

I think the problem is that apparently no one is allowed to criticize anything JLG has ever said or done, lest they be MAGA. JLG and her supporters seem remarkably thin skinned, and prone to dumb, personal attacks. [/quote]

McDuffie took in more than twice as much in campaign donations from utility interests than any of his current council peers, and from 2018–2025 met with paid utility lobbyists five times more often than any other councilmember.

A nonprofit that filed an ethics complaint against JLG had a board member connected to a firm that McDuffie’s campaign paid $20,000 for “research services” the week before the complaint was filed and McDuffie’s campaign didn’t respond to questions about the payment.

In 2019, McDuffie was a crucial vote in favor of awarding a $215 million no-bid contract to lottery operator Intralot.  The problem: a document obtained by the Washington Post through a FOIA request showed McDuffie’s cousin listed as chief executive of a subcontracting company that stood to receive $3 million from the deal.

It gets messier. McDuffie’s cousin Keith McDuffie was linked to a lottery subcontractor who had also organized a fundraiser for him… before the ink on the contract was dry.  And McDuffie had originally opposed the no-bid shortcut but changed his vote the same day he received a prized committee assignment from Council Chairman Mendelson, leading colleagues to label it back-room dealmaking.
