[quote=Anonymous]I attribute this mostly to the Council than Bowser, but the way COVID  vaccines were effectively wittheld from so many of us at first felt really... disenfranchising. I have also lived in DC for 20 years, my adult child and I have major medical risk factors, and we live in a very modest apartment in a part of Ward I that someone decided was too "privileged" to qualify us for the basic benefits of membership in the community. Online commenters kept saying things like we can get the vaccine elsewhere through our "connections" or privileges and had to be stopped at all costs, but of course, it wasn't actually possible to get the vaccine through any other means.

The whole experience, plus my experience as a DCPS parent who often heard that my middle-income child was taking resources away from DCPS's "real" students, revealed that too many people in DC politics will never consider my family "real" constituents whose needs matter. The thing is, I don't have the means to arrange for everything the DC government should provide privately. [/quote]
