My understanding from talking to people in the DC government is that behind the scenes Maret put A LOT of pressure on DPR and the mayor's office to grant the extension.

What kind of pressure exactly? Did they threaten to sue if they didn't get their way? Did they mention campaign contributions? What did they have over DPR and Bowser to get them to sign off on this load of shit?[/quote]

It's more subtle than that. Get someone who is well known (in DC government circles) to call and say that it would make a lot of powerful people happy if they did a certain thing.

What sucks is that it puts the agency staff in an impossible position. If they don't go a long they face repercussions. If they go along and it blows up they face consequences too.[/quote]
Well people need to act their conscience.  There are whistleblowers who speak up on corruption in all parts of government.  And all the Maret parents who allegedly disapprove and are silent are #complicit.[/quote]
