David suggested that we not lose sight of the fact that the city is progressing well in the midst of these scandals. That's not something to be ignored. He didn't say we should just "get over it" and move on. But let's look at the facts. The same sort of facts that didn't get in the way of the city moving forward while Fenty was having his own PR nightmares.

David also said that if the allegations are true, Gray should step down. I'm I the only one who read that? We can have opinions on whether he knew. But isn't that what the USAG is investigating?

I totally disagree with the ChChase wrt what an "illegally" elected pols does in office is irrelevant. That's unless you think that city business should fall into the dumps while we sit and wait for the next shoe to drop. The points David made showing how the city is still functioning well is exactly why what a good CEO does under fire is important. In fact, it's the hallmark of a great leader.

I agree w/Dizzy about Gray continuing the policies of his predecessors. Ironically, that was made of the main arguments against him. That, compared to Fenty, he would allow the city to regress. The facts are what they are. We haven't. But I also don't believe that any mayor will dramatically change the direction in which the city is headed. Fenty didn't. And his landmark achievement (School takeover) was something that he voted against Williams doing when he proposed it while Fenty was a CM.
