[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What the photo tells me is that these ANC reps are unprofessional, immature, don’t respect their constituents, and are ill-equipped for public office. I wouldn’t vote for someone for junior high class president if this was how they presented themselves and certainly don’t want these ANC reps  weighing on in important issues. They don’t have the confidence if their constituents. And Beau Finley is trying to censor the topic in a public meeting? [/quote]

You’ve obviously never been to an ANC meeting if this is the first time you realized ANC reps are not professionals, don’t respect their constituents, and ill-equipped for public office. ANC meetings feel a lot like high school government. [/quote]

I’m the poster above and I’ve been to several ANC meetings and agree. I just expect more of our public servants and elected officials. Can they at least try to act like grown ups and not spoiled brats? The photo and tweet aren’t the first time the rotating group of ANC commissioners aligned with CP Smart Growth and GGW have acted inappropriately. Bike lanes is just the issue du jour. The tweeted photo is one example in a pattern of bad behavior. Amateur hour has been going on a long time and it discourages better candidates from running, especially if they don’t share the other ANC commissioners GGW & CPSG agenda. Combine the rude, immature unprofessional behavior with with special interest groups, developers throwing money into the pot, and the regulars on the CP list serve and at ANC meetings who don’t even live in Cleveland Park endlessly barking about their own agendas, it’s no wonder we have such abysmal representation and that so few reasonable people want to run.

Can you say more about developers throwing money into the pot? Are you saying 3c commissioners are getting kickbacks?

What else did the rotating cast of commissioners do? [/quote]
