[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Washington State has one, California may get one, seems like the progressive DC Council should not be far behind[/quote]

The DC government has to be one of the most hilariously wasteful governments in the entire country. Maybe they could just cut spending? For probably the first time ever?[/quote]

For sure. I'd target duplicative agency jobs. For example, DOB has an enforcement group that is tiny compared to DLCP's. DOB's enforcement overlaps with OAG and the native jurisdiction of landlord-tenant court. Get rid of the housing code enforcement at DOB that touches upon renters. MPD is overstaffed and underworked, and, further, they are structurally setup to juke their own stats. We don't need more municipal cops per capita than every city bigger than us, especially with the 15+ other law enforcement agencies with jurisdiction in DC. I've only become "defund" due to their lazy incompetence. Case in point: they stupidly reduced crime stats before Pinto's law went into effect and claimed her law did the trick.[/quote]

We also don't need 15 "Safe Passage" employees standing outside a high school to help 17 year olds cross the street. [/quote]

Yes, we absolutly do. And that doesn't cost much.[/quote]
