hey crime, mendelson is far better then the jerk of a mayor. All the photo opts in the world will not deter crime. I've said it before and I'll say it again he doesn't know anything about crime except how to commit it. This man middle name is arrogrant.

Phil Mendelson is the worst possible person to be in charge of the crime problem in DC. He's the type of liberal that makes me embarrassed to be a liberal.

This article describes how ridiculously soft on crime he is: http://www.washingtonian.com/print/articles/6/171/8002.html

Well the ususal suck-up council members were present. That says it all right there. What else would you expect from Bowser? Only a lobotomy would change her way of thinking. Hang in there Mendelson. Keep doing the right thing! That conversation belongs in the legislative arena and not on a street corner.

Unfortunately, the Omnibus bill submitted by Fenty is a really, really bad bill that would do nothing to reduce crime but would do quite a lot to reduce civil liberties. THis is beneath Evans who should know better. It is an embarassment for Graham who doesn't know anything about rights or crime, but loves a microphone. Bowser just owes the Mayor and does his bidding.

Mendelson has been working for months on this turkey, trying to find a rare nugget of a good idea that can be made into a viable crime-fighting effort that does serve solely to make DC a police state as Nickles would like.

Thank goodness we have Mendelson to protect us and the Constitution from Fenty and Nickles.

STICK TO YOUR GUNS MENDELSON! I am sick of Fenty & Co spending so much energy circumventing laws and the legislative process. Maybe it's not working for Nickel/Fenty et al because they are not interested in what anyone else thinks, feels, wants... to include the citizens of the District. Well Fenty et at.... get all that you can now because if your not in jail by the end of this term, you definately wont be re-elected.

This is interesting. Cathy Lanier spoke at my community association meeting this week. She commented that the MPD tries to stay out of politics -- but she also said how much the crime bill is needed and she mentioned Phil Mendleson by name as the head of the public service committee as someone to call.

Stick it to 'em, Mendo! Civil liberties are worth the fine-tooth comb approach.
