[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Who gets to vote in that referendum?

Looks like the DC Council celebrated prematurely and the Senate still has time to strike down their second bill too. I just can’t with the incompetence and arrogance.

Is there a word for the kind of zealous magic thinking Mendo is displaying? I get that the Council and DC Justice Lab are a hive mind, but there is seemingly no awareness that top of the ticket Ds were not going to tank their own careers for a trifling city council. Do they not grasp how many city councils there are?

That they passed the Cuba resolution instead of pulling the bill before the House vote and after the Congresswoman had been mugged was astonishing and telling. It is as though they are kids larping as a Model UN rather than legislators responsible for a city, budgets, etc. We had a control board not long ago and they seem to be actively courting the conditions that led to it. So cringe. [/quote]

I’ve reached the conclusion that the DC Councik must be abolished in favor of a more professional city management.

By the way, should we make any progress to the Statehood, the only way I’d vote for it is if like VT and WY, our representatives only get paid for the sitting time (4 months not a year). Of course that would mean they would be even more open to corruption so is a no go.

Given all that, we are small enough to practice a Swiss-style democracy, put it all to the people. Provided the idiotic law that allow you to bus and house your own constituents is also rejected. Which it think it hopefully will be — what a laughingstock![/quote]
