This. I don't love her, at all, but at least things seem to be getting done.  She got schools open, and part of me thinks under White, schools would still be closed.  [b]DC had plenty of tests to pick up in December, when things went all to shit with covid.[/b]  I don't love it, but she got DC General closed and got those shelters built in a variety of wards.  She clears the homeless encampments.

I'd love to see her crack down on crime and the freaking ATV situation.   This council (and Robert White) sure won't put any energy there, and she just might now that the election is done.

The bolded is an excellent point. DC was ahead of the game on rapid testing and got it in place just as Omicron hit. That testing wound up being vital in the coming weeks. And then the rest of the year, my PK kid got a test in her backpack every Friday, and for months we tested weekly to keep track of Covid occurrence in the school There were problems with DCPS reporting of Covid cases in the fall, but by the time Omicron hit, and it really counted, things had improved a lot.

I give Bowser a ton of credit for that. Add in stuff like the Covid Centers, mask distribution, the drop-box PCR testing, etc... do you know people in other cities? They never had any of this stuff, or at least not all of it. Bowser actually did a ton to help the city combat Covid and she gets zero credit for it. [/quote]
