Council passes its own D.C. General closure plan, angers Mayor Bowser


Chairman Mendelson got the better of this exchange. For the Mayor to yell, “You’re a f*cking liar!” at him in the hallway is not a refutation of the Council’s plan, which passed unanimously. I got an informal briefing this evening from Councilmember Silverman. There were legitimate concerns that the Mayor’s plan was too costly. And in any case, the Council has a role to play other than just rubber stamping the Mayor’s proposal. If she doesn’t learn from this, she is in big trouble.
