Well V doesn't live in my ward..Barry does. So any discussion defending your idea that things will improve once Barry (and his folks) dies should at a minimum consider those who actually live in the ward. Maybe Veronica simply living EOTR is enough for you. Hence, the comparison.

we'll probably see a Ward 8 -fueled movement to amend the DC charter, and make it legal to elect dead men to the council.

Yeah, it'll probably happen at the same time we see a W6-fueled movement to ensure that its W7 neighbors have little to no involvement in whatever happens w/Res 13.

The comment about Marion barry dying was not appropriate.

Apparently because it was referring to Barry, it made the cut. Now if someone suggested that the city would be much better when the ABY's and The Saint dies..it would likely not since it wouldn't be considered as "encouraging dialogue."

One last thing: when we're talking about "Barry's cohort" we're talking about folks who are 75, 80, 90 years old.

You mean those old enough to have paid their dues by raising families, owning homes (most I'm sure) and paying taxes? You're waiting for them to die? Sounds a bit harsh but ok.

@DC, I think the evidence is pretty clear that CM Barry can NOT be removed through elections

What nonsense. Sure he can..once he gets a formidable opponent. At least that's how it works in every other US jurisdiction.
