Okay, so Fenty didn't like or get support from Thompson so he cut Thompson's medicaid funding by $16M. Thompson supported Gray so Gray got an extra $32M for Thompson. Graham didn't like that someone other than his financial supporter got the Metro site so he jawboned them out.

Is anything ever done because it's good or the right thing? Is anyone ever given a contract because they're the best or lowest bidder? Are we going to find corruption in the streetcar or performance parking programs? How much overhead does this pay-to-play cost?

It's an expensive way to run a city and any benefits to the intended recipients of programs seems sort of trickle down.
