I did, his second run at mayor then council.  He was a total joke then and now.   Thats why I think its funny when people want to Mayor to give up control of schools. I remember when Fenty took over schools, yall don;t know how bad it was.  the Feds wouldn;t even let half the schools open one year (maybe 98 or 99) cause they were either literally falling down and dangerous or there were no books.   I don't care for this mayor at all, but trust me its better than letting a Union controlled school board run the show again.[/quote]
I arrived in '99, so just at the tail end.

Let's be honest, the issue was not union control of the school board. The core issue was that the city was rotten with incompetence, cronyism and patronage. Anyone who was good who worked in DC government or DCPS quit in frustration.

Bowser is bringing these traditions back. She is reshaping the city in ways that when people look back on this era it will not be positive.
