[quote=Anonymous]DC JL seems to have an enormous hold over the Council, is it just $$$? The comments to the post are full of common sense and the public has made it clear that crime is a primary concern. Stats show DC is an outlier among D cities with its crime trends. Yet, they do this. Why? Is there some hidden hand here?

And YES, those who claim being concerned about crime is "MAGA" - looking at YOU, ethically challenged Elissa Silverman - you are the ones giving cover to driving this city off a cliff. The financial repercussions are going to be enormous, combined with the CRE implosion and fed and commercial leases expiring and office footprints shrinking. Is this the kind of story that will boost tourism? Development? People wanting to move here? Losing the teams wasn't enough, now this?

Any sane politician would see it as wise to give victims a voice in these times. Yet, they nominate a murderer? That will be 2 anti-carceral voices on the Commission, while victims have NO VOICE. Portland and SF and Seattle are balanced by their states, DC has no ballast. The more poor black and brown people are shot and DIE in DC, the more they double down. How many dead black people will be enough for them? How many will suffer when revenue declines and services are cut?
