He was there in person on and off. He said he had other meetings/hearings. The only ones there in person at all were Bonds, Frumin, Nadeau and Henderson, Pinto was the chair. There were other hearings today on Council schedule.

Is there anything more important than crime at the moment? Seriously, anything? These people are a joke.

Pickleball tourney night on ESPN8.

In fairness to him, we no longer leave our house in the evening either.

The Petit Scholars assailant should have been off the street much earlier. CA has moved to make involuntary commitment easier, for longer periods. DC helps no one, not the suffering individual nor public safety with the current, outdated approach.

I’m surprised more people don’t run for city council. The public is clearly fed up with these people. Just run and say the word “change” a lot and you’ll win.

These measures all seem destined to land more Black children in prison.

We all know these kids grew up in under-resourced communities, and were never given the opportunities they deserved growing up. Prison is not going to make their lives better.

Stop being racist. Black people deserve to live in safe neighborhoods just like you do as you type this from your two-story house in Bethesda.

Actually only the main wing is two-story, the side wing is only one story as we had to extend all the way to the pool house.

Spot on. And she's not the only one.

Why does she always look disheveled?

Did I read that correctly on Twitter that she left the hearing after only 10 minutes, barely 12 hours after she said she needed to hear from more voices before deciding whether she was going to vote for the bill?

I don’t live in her Ward, but watched her hearing last night get a sense of Chief Smith.

It was good to hear the anger from Ward 1 residents, even with Nadeau’s tin ears (and air of being above them).

I am no fan of No Do but in fairness she had said at the top she would be in and out, she had other meetings and I believe another hearing to chair. Frumin was also in and out. Bonds stayed for the part I saw and engaged.

She always becomes just a stammering idiot whenever someone challenges her. Just an overwhelmingly unimpressive council member.

Got to love the end of the video where she cracks a joke to mock the residents' concerns, laughs, then immediately follows up with "I hear you, and as I said I'm taking it seriously."

It's as if her mask slipped for a second, and then she remembered the right thing to do is to pretend to care, say "I'm taking this seriously," and proceed to completely ignore there concerns (most D.C. politicians will do this - claim that they're taking crime very seriously while they completely ignore crime).

Why are Ward 1 residents angry? They are all democrats, just like Nadeau and every single other council member (and the mayor).

They voted for this. YOU voted for this, DC.

So why the anger now??
