Jennifer,
I listened to the show a couple of weeks ago and in the segment “The Most Under Reported News”, someone talked about the firing of the Parks Director, Todd Reese. Then someone else was mentioned who had also been unceremoniously fired and is now working for the District of Columbia. (Could you tell me his name?) Then there is Chris Burbank. I’m concerned about how the mayor’s administration fires these people with no notice and no challenge.
It’s a troubling pattern. It’s also why I did not vote for Mayor Becker.
