JLG needs to fix the DC workforce. I have so many experiences with lazy and competent employees from DPW, DOB,MPD, DCPS, DDOT, DFHV, you name it.
SURVEILLANCE VIDEO VS. WASHINGTON D.C. DEPARTMENT OF BUILDINGS OFFICIAL RECORDS
The @DC_DOB told the mayor’s office that its building inspector entered an apartment building during an inspection. But surveillance video and the property owner, Arch Djabatey tell a different story.
The 7News I-Team uncovered multiple discrepancies in the Department of Buildings’ records, including conflicting accounts of two inspections and the use of the same photograph in two separate inspection reports filed more than a month apart.
THE FULL @7NewsDC I-TEAM INVESTIGATION DROPS MONDAY AT 5 PM
When we offered DOB surveillance video that contradicted its account, the department declined to review it, saying, “No need exists to look at surveillance video.”
DOB acknowledged reusing the photograph, saying it caused confusion and that procedures would be strengthened.
After our questions, DOB changed its account, saying the inspector observed the exterior but never entered the building.
Watch Arch Djabatey explain what happened.

The fact it takes a CM to help for some thing like this shows how broken government is in DC.
Update: Vehicle had been towed after 2 weeks! Thank you to @CMCharlesAllen for helping with this matter.

Look what it takes to get a bus to turn around. Can't even have the cops call and have the car towed. Government is feckless. popville.com/2026/11/mount-p…

Two parking tickets for this #weknowwhothebaddriversare since becoming tow & boot eligible - @DC_OCA when will parking enforcement start calling in your crack towing teams?
Car Problems retweeted
Every ticket should require a comment that states how the issue was resolved, before it can be marked as closed. & not just " Your service request is closed. If there are any new or unfinished issues, please enter a new 311 request."

Can someone explain to me like I'm 5 years old why we allow cars like this to stay on the street? @311DCgov Currently and every day parked on the 1500 Block of Spring Pl NW – at Washington, DC

This proposed plan is absolutely unacceptable.
Here’s what the plan actually does: 36 holes of public golf cut to 18. No more mini golf. No more park. More running / cycling road. No more playground. No more introductory course. Nobody has said a word about the Cherry blossoms.
Who is this actually for? Not the kid learning to golf. Not the family in a walk. Not the birders.
This was never about the public. It’s for the elitists who want a private showcase, and one man’s ego.

Fairfax County has less than half as many police officers as @DCPoliceDept & just issued 3800 traffic citations in less than a month - @DC_OCA I bet you'd need to go back a couple of years to reach the same number of citations from MPD.

After my campaign ended, I reached out to the Bowser administration in good faith and requested a meeting to discuss our recommendations for 311. I brought talented young people with deep technology experience. We followed up with a memo outlining improvements to both the systems residents use and the technology behind them. OUC Director Heather McGaffin attended that meeting. @OUC_DC
What came of it? I have seen no meaningful follow-through. A few weeks after our meeting, the administration scheduled more 311 listening sessions. Listening should lead to action. Residents should not have to keep describing the same failures while practical recommendations go nowhere.
We have people who know how to fix these problems and want to help. But their contributions mean little when city leadership refuses to act or hold anyone accountable. We have tolerated a culture of cronyism for too long in DC: hire your friends, protect incompetent leadership, reward bad management, then blame fiscal cliffs and deficits when services fail. Raise taxes. Repeat.
As a Democrat, I want a government that actually delivers the strong public services we champion. What pride can we take in those values if we cannot even administer the services people depend on?
DPW can't even pick up my garbage consistently but at least lives aren't at risk because of it. The fact that this @OUC_DC incompetence is allowed to continue by our elected officials is outrageous.

Half parking fines and quadruple speeding fines. If you park in a crosswalk, in front of a hydrant, or in a handicapped space your car should be hit with a wrecking ball.
Councilmember @RobertWhite_DC said this morning he wants to HALVE parking fines in D.C. (Will propose as an amendment to @BrianneKNadeau's strategic parking enforcement bill. But @ChmnMendelson says it isn't germane.)
White: “Inflation is kicking our butts at the grocery store.”
