Congratulations on a scoop LL. I would have been surprised had this not been announced there. I wonder why there was no other press there (except the Blade). Are they so clueless?

Umm, at a minimum WaPo, Blade, WAMU-FM, DCist were there...

Technically, they won't be co-sponsors. They will all be introducing the bill. There are two levels of support for a bill, and introducer is higher than co-sponsor.
In addition to your list of media, Metro Weekly was also there.

why wasn't Jim Graham there? It was even held in Ward 1!

The Blade has a picture with Graham standing behind David. Of course, with the Blade's all Balto focus they probably used an old photo.

Yeah, that is the stock photo of Catania that they always use.

Graham was not there. There was an empty seat b/w Catania and Mendo.
