Agree with this - there needs to be more balance on how to manage the nuts and bolts of the city and not just pushing policies that don't really address the issues the city is facing but rack up political points - Frumin might be good with a different council but he seems like he would not stand up to Elissa Silverman, Briane Nadeau etc.. who are putting sound bites over taking care of the city
Why?
The city has a $6,5B rainy day surplus fund and a AAA bond rating.
These are impressive per capital metrics that any Governor would be envious of.
Yes, but any real Governor who woke up this morning and saw that a major employer (HHS) decided to permanently allow people to work from home and understands that when commercial leases next come up for renewal that their one and only downtown will contract by 30%, would have pooped their pants. DC will blow through that $6B in about a year on stuff like free metro cards, violence interrupters, and bike lanes. Might be nice to have someone with actual business experience on the Council when that happens.
Except that DC has been operating with a surplus for years. The city is in great shape financially.
Republicans create deficits, then leave Democrats to clean up the mess. A vote for a Republican like Krucoff is a vote for less financial discipline, not more.
Do you know something that the DC CFO does not? Without recession, FY23 revenues are projected to decline 2%. Do you see the council looking to make budget cuts?

That is why they started offering incentives to convert office buildings to residential during covid.
DC will be fine, but thanks for your concern.
Um. You do understand that commercial real estate is taxed at twice the rate as residential, right? If you could snap your fingers and suddenly convert all vacant offices to residential you’d still be way in the hole. $6B doesn’t go so far these days either, especially with all the free stuff this Council wants to give away.

I am in this place, too. Thoroughly disgusted with the current City Council.

You and Frumin are liars. Krucoff favors a different form of statehood through Maryland. Tell us about your great successes for the 51st state, it’s a phony issue to divert from Frumin’s anti-police anti-driver anti-school choice agenda.
Retrocession is not a "different kind of statehood"

This is a lie. Just own what he wants, which is retrocession into Maryland. That is not statehood for DC. DC doesn’t want it, and Maryland doesn’t want it.
