Almost immediately after he won the 2006 Dem Primary, Fenty convened a meeting at the Convention Center for real estate developers, stunning his populist supporters.

He then made DDOT head Dan Tangherlini his City Administrator, and Tangherlini lobbied for Tregoning, who does not have a planning background, and Ellen McCarthy (a C-100 member) was pushed out. [She seems to have rebounded nicely and is at Nixon-Peabody--and probably making a lot more money than she was at OP.]

Neil Albert (who was heading up an education non-profit called EdBuild with Victor Reinoso) returned after his 15 minutes in the private sector to become the head of "Planning" and Economic Development, and was pulled from that hotseat when he replaced Tangherlini as Deputy Mayor.

Valerie Santos is now the head of DMPED. She makes Gabe Klein look like a potential Nobel Prize winner in comparison.
