Wouldn't it be a little more productive if Ward 5 residents came up with their legislative agenda much like other groups and organizations. Then they can present the elected officials with their list of priorities. This would also allow the residents to then grade them on their performance in the areas identified.
Just a thought.
Early in 2013, it would be good to have a meeting with Councilmembers McDuffie, Orange, Grosso, and Bonds to discuss what issues Ward 5 residents especially want these councilmembers to address. Any other councilmember that wanted to come would be welcome, but it is time to make sure Ward 5 gets the city to take a look at the ward's agenda. What are the key issues in Ward 5 that need to be addressed? What citywide issues do Ward 5 residents think the city should address? What priorities do Ward 5 residents envision besides the District's emphasis (obsession) on sides bicycle lanes, increasing the number of speed cameras, closing schools, and depriving D.C. residents of affordable parking spaces? How can residents maintain the zoning they want in their communities?
In 2014, D.C. voters will vote on the first elected Attorney General. It is time that residents begin to focus on who they might want and think about drafting or grooming that person for the job. Who would you like to see as the first elected Attorney General? Do you think the current one is a shoo-in?
