Some of his hires have made the news for the wrong reasons (e.g., ousted DLCP director Shirley Kwan-hui whose short tenure featured the barber/cosmetology board scandal and her residency at issue) while others need to have the competition for a post cleared out (e.g., DLCP GC Melanie Konstantopoulos, who DLCP gave the job to after three postings, with the third one being where she was the only candidate, finally).

None of us know who any of those people are. But, we would live to hear more about them.

I don’t see the problem either. She wasn’t fired for doing a poor job. In fact, she was promoted to deputy director. None of her employers said she was not performing well.
I don’t care if you are doing 10 jobs as long as your are performing.

One of those jobs clearly didn't require much time and attention.

Originally she was Chief Operating Officer before being promoted to Deputy Director. According to the Post there is no information on what she actually did as Deputy Director. At Freddie she was a risk management director.

The funniest part is that she was hired as the initial COO at DOB. The agency Bowser created to fix DCRA and takeover public building maintenance. In other words, it's the agency in charge of fixing the Wilson pool and maintaining school buildings along with construction permiting.

No, that’s DGS. DOB is in charge of residential permitting.

People that can effectively manage multiple jobs like this usually are high performing at all of them. DC has a weird hiring system that limits most jobs to DC residents which limits the talent pool and reduce the average quality of employees.

Nobody can be competent in two 40/hr week jobs. She probably dialed it in for the DC job.

That was the really dumb move. She lied on the conflict of interest and financial disclosure forms for her position on the council. That now provides the Attorney of the Commonwealth the nexus to go after her.

Tbh, she sounds like an insufferable striver.

Anonymous wrote:Lian resigned from the Falls Church City Council on Thursday, and city officials relayed information to the commonwealth’s attorney for investigation, a city spokeswoman told News4.

The Arlington County Commonwealth’s Attorney tells News4 her office is working with local law enforcement to investigate the matter.

Falls Church officials reviewed Lian’s most recent annual financial disclosure.

“Upon review, the City discovered that the former council member listed only Freddie Mac as her employer and did not disclose her employment relationship with the District of Columbia,” the Falls Church spokeswoman said in a statement.

Lian was the second-highest-ranking official in D.C.’s Department of Buildings and earned $175,000 per year. According to a disposition issued by the D.C. Board of Ethics and signed by Lian, she also earned a six-figure salary while working full-time for Freddie Mac.

You must be Asian too. Sorry - but no. If that photo had been of a Black person, you would have NEVER made this comment and you know it. Get out of here with that bulls*it.

There are no cheap rentals in DC dummy.
