DC elected officials are getting paid big bucks. In fact, Mayor Adrian Fenty and Council Chairman Vincent Gray get paid more than 49/50 state governors. Wow. What a cushy job! The Council doesn't even have any real authority, since DC laws are subject to congressional approval anyway.

So THAT'S why Marion Barry keeps coming back.
Crack and hookers are very expensive
Saying that the Council doesn't have any power because laws are subject to Congressional approval might have made sense before Home Rule, but the Council definitely has power now. Just witness the hearings that went on this week about the city budget.
Will, I testified against Mary Cheh's election bill, I know just how crazy some of these laws can be. Lucky for DC, at least there's some congressional oversight on the laws passed by the council. Otherwise, the district would be a complete mess.
As always .... Will Frey SUCH A SEXY BLOGGER!!!!!
