WaPo Publishes Fenty and Gray Op-eds

Two op-eds written for Sunday's WaPo by D.C. mayoral candidate Vincent Gray and Mayor Adrian Fenty just went live online: Adrian M. Fenty says we have a strong foundation, but no time to slow down: We laid a great foundation during my first term, but there is so much left to do. In many ways the challenges that lie before us in the next term are the same ones we faced in the first. Like any leader, I have made my share of mistakes, and I've learned some valuable lessons. You have my promise that I will continue these aggressive reforms with a more inclusive approach and an even greater urgency to deliver for our residents. What I will never do is go back to the ways of the past. The great pace of improvement that we have begun must continue. Read the full piece here. Vincent C. Gray says we will see better results by working as 'one city': Finally, we need to change the way the mayor's office operates. There have been too many instances of mismanagement and cronyism over the past four years. Every day seems to bring another story about overspending in city programs, depletion of the District's rainy-day fund, hundreds of cases of lost DNA evidence, or secrecy and lack of transparency, such as $82 million in contracts being steered to the mayor's fraternity brothers without council approval. My administration will make the fiscally responsible decisions necessary to keep the city on budget, restore transparency to the mayor's office and put an end to the pay-to-play politics that are rampant in the Fenty administration. Read the piece in its entirety here.
