[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]JLG has been incredibly engaged with Ward 4 education activists and schools. I have my doubts McDuffie could say the same.

I don't think you have to agree with her or with him on specific topics, but I'd much rather go with an engaged mayor on education than one who is not.[/quote]

I agree she is engaged. I've met her and she is very happy to listen and engage.

But many of her actual ideas are really, really bad. Im coming around to preferring a disengaged person with better ideas to an engaged person with destructive ideas.[/quote]

An appointed, competent autocrat saved DC from itself. Then we elected him and he did a phenomenal job. People who are arguing that "engagement" of any sort is more important than ideas might want to consider that's the same line of thinking that go Trump elected. "He listens to me, understands my plight and I would want to have a beer with him." [/quote]

Maybe it has just been a long day, but I have no idea who you are referring to in this thread - who is the autocrat who did a phenomenal job? If we are talking about the mayoral race, are you referencing back to Fenty? [/quote]

This person was probably talking about Anthony Williams, who was the CFO for DC who balanced the budget, and then went on to become the mayor who brought in enough investment to fuel DC's growth for more than a decade.[/quote]
