Voted for Janeese Lewis George because she wasn't Brandon Todd and it's been GREAT!  No regrets at all.[/quote]

I love Janeese! She's responsive, speaks with constituents on the street, and most importantly, fights against traffic violence and out of control drivers in Ward 4.[/quote]

She wants to reopen Beach Drive to vehicular traffic and also thinks violent criminals should go unpunished. Think before you post.[/quote]

Reopening upper Beach drive is important for Ward 4.  [/quote]

Interesting, I would say NOT reopening is important for Ward 4.[/quote]

The Ward 4 council member has publicly come out in support of reopening Beach Drive.[/quote]

Yes, that was where this conversation started. I just think many in Ward 4 -- including my family -- disagree. I generally like Lewis nonetheless. [/quote]
It’s possible that you hold a minority view among residents in the neighborhood and that she’s considering the views of everyone in the Ward, which I would think is a good thing. [/quote]

similarly the decision should be about the overall city and not just Ward 4. [/quote]
And what is so important to the “overall city” such that deference to the Ward councilmember should be ignored?[/quote]

Parks are an amenity for the entire city. More broadly, if we gave “deference” to each councilmember or ANC on transit projects, literally nothing would ever get done. [/quote]
This is not a transit project. So not sure what point you are making. It’s also a Federal park and not a local park. [/quote]

even more of a reason not to “defer” to Ward 4 on the matter of a park owned by the entire country![/quote]
I am sure then that you are okay with letting Montgomery County residents have an equal voice. [/quote]

It seems this issue is very important to you and I am glad then that Lewis has your back. There are very good reasons to both reopen and keep closed but it's not super relevant to the current discussion. (I don't think Palmer has mentioned it, has she?)[/quote]
