No wonder D.C.'s getting a streetcar
The mayor takes money that the city collected from the citizenry for one purpose, and uses it for quite another, with a laughable explanation of how the two are connected.

But don't you see? Streetcars will pave the way for Congressional representation! (Or something like that...)

What do you expect from a place where they elect a crackhead as Mayor?

they elect a crackhead as Mayor...
S'ok, Portland. We know you're jealous. Maybe your Mayor Creepy will turn out to be a white slave trader or something. Y'all can dream! ;)

Tommyspoon has a point... a crackhead is probably better than a middle aged man who likes teenage boys but promises to wait until they're legal.

Since DC implemented the bag tax, I've stopped running midday shopping errands in the District, running them later across the river. Maybe that helps to explain not only why bag tax receipts are less than expected but also why DC sales tax receipts are down as well. There are so many ways to not support streetcars that I can hardly help myself.
