While these “favors” leave taxpayers with (1) boogled construction projects across the city…(2)our tax dollars being used to pay kids from Prince George’s County to not work but be warehoused at schools and recreation centers last summer (3)senseless “all hands on deck” initiatives, which have not been proven to aid in crime reduction, but result in unfair arrests to produce BIG numbers for the Public Relations-addicted Fenty or should I say Mayor Nickles and Mayor Tangherlini.

And Rhee…where for art thou substantial teaching and/or management experience to truly rheeFORM an entire urban school district? Academic achievement, standards, student performance…that’s great Rhee…but you can’t even get our kids interested in coming to school!!!

Absenteeism, truancy, a reloving door of substitute teachers, wrongful terminations of principals and teachers, schools with 40 students suspended at one time…uh um…is my microphone on?

Despite, Ms. Isha Foster-Lee’s questionable unprofessional work behavior Fenty PROMOTED her to a position at the Department of Employment Services(DOES) of all places Check for yourself I believe the salaries, pay grade/history of government employees is public information. Why would Fenty do this? Foster-Lee was one of Fenty’s number one “hype-men” in Ward 8 during his campaigning for mayor…knocking on doors, stabbing lawns with Fenty for mayor yard signs and maybe getting tea!!!

Luckily the new Outreach Coordinators are helpful, professional, committed and have an overall wonderful attitude.

Someone really should look into this. This was goverment abuse.

Understandably, politicians hire friends, but hire friends that are qualified, have management or political experience, etc. You’re giving a six-figure salary to homies, your boyz from the hood who likely got their degree if any in the mail, (e.g. Veronica Washington,) while city agencies and Metropolitan Police continues to experience budget cuts which trickles down to a decrease in patrols…and we wonder why there are a lack of police patrols and folks are getting their asses kicked by teenagers via Potomac Avenue, Maryland Avenue and Gallery Place. Even more so we wonder why when Fenty’s predecessor Anthony Williams left office he left the District with a surplus, now the wounds of the Fenty administration have infected us with a deficit.

And enough with the blogs and commentary, get out there and do some serious investigative reporting. With the DUI cover-ups, criminal background cover-ups and no credential cover-ups of some of Fenty’s overpaid “executive” staff and their families, you just might give District residents a reason to wear, “Bitch Set Me Up,” t-shirts again.

I too have had issues in Ward 6 and Caroline Jhingory has been STELLAR in her responsiveness and her delivery of the services need. This administration is not concerned with work or work ethic but merely with appearances and alot of ASS KISSING and HAND HOLDING!!!

Let’s speak of his former Chief of Staff, Tene Dolphin, what makes her QUALIFIED to run DOES, what they fact that she is a friend of the Mayor. She was a PISS POOR Chief of Staff so you move her to be in control of the futures of hard working, eager to be employed members of your constituency….PLEASE, give me a break. So many folk in DC out of work and yet they cannot even get jobs in their own city, but Maryland and Virginia residents don’t seem to have that issue and then they don’t do what the hiring agreement states “move into the district within an alloted time frame and PAY TAXES”. They and he are just here to make a BUCK and when that BUCK is made then they will move on.

If Fenty thinks he is the next OBAMA, think again!
