How exactly is a mayor going to improve this? Be realistic[/quote]

I mean, we used to, too -- his name was Anthony Williams and he made it his explicit goal to attact business and investment to DC, and he literally oversaw BILLIONS coming in (for example, the opening of the convention center and the corresponding rush of funds.)

Anthony Williams is why DC came to life starting in the 2000s.

Janeese's magical thinking scares me, and Kenyan's ineptitude and laziness scares me. Why are these our options?[/quote]

Can we get Tony Williams to run again? [/quote]
