That's not up to date. He left DC government.

No, he didn't. He's director of the DC Department of Energy & Environment before becoming director of the Office of Policy and Legislative Affairs. He's also leading the flailing pushback against the Charles Allen recall, helping out his fellow Alabama carpetbagger.

In a third term, there are no new ideas or initaitives, no goals or aspirations, and Bowser is not a visionary nor a manager.

I hope this term is it for her.

1). The Youth Rehabilitation Act (YRA) which releases "kids" under the age of 26 for first time offenses - even gun charges, they get a slap on the wrist, a short period of probation and they are out on the streets again - this is even for gun charges.

2). Our crime lab, housed within the Department of Forensic Science, lost its certification a couple of years ago so any crimes that were committed using their evidence requiring lab work - rape, murder, etc., is questionable. We are now using a private lab case but what happened to all of those cases that couldn't be prosecuted because of faulty lab work? And DFS' general counsel seems to be fighting hard interfere with any oversight: https://washingtoncitypaper.com/article/63827...ct-with-its-members/

3.). Leadership at OAG is also weak - they run a "hugs not thugs" program instead of actually penalizing delinquent juveniles.

4.). Simply put, the Mayor is weak and her time is up. She does not have an effective strategy for fighting crime and she is surrounded by sycophants who tell her what she wants to hear. Look at her Chief of Staff, the MOLC, Deputy Mayor of Public Safety. Look how poorly her staff handled the Falchiccio matter - they fumbled the ball big time and looked like amateurs - you would have never seen such sloppy work in places like NYC or L.A.

5.). We need a new Mayor.

The Council drafted and passed that bill. OAG is separate, not under her. So, those need to be taken up elsewhere.

Agree she is terrible at running city.

A new mayor will make little headway with the Council skewed as far left as it is, and with an anti-prosecution USOA and anti-carceral AG. Previous Councils were not fronts for DC Justice Lab. When the activists are openly writing the bills and talking points, it's not a good situation.
