Why DC Mayor Adrian Fenty...Why?!

So, I was watching the news this morning, and Adrian Fenty is at it again. Now, the dude just raised parking meters to $2 an hour, but wants to raise it an additional buck next year on top of 70+ fee hikes the covers everything from speeding tickets, automated traffic enforcement and residential parking fees. DC residents, please get rid of this dude…seriously. Not to mention, his Superintendent of schools fired over 200 DC teachers based on erroneous data. Ms. Rhee thought that teachers average 81K, when it was more like 67K. Based on the 81K, 260 some odd educators were “let go” in anticipation of a budget shortfall. Of like 40 something million. Come to find out, the city has a surplus of 34 million (that’s for schools—we hear money can go missing under the Fenty camp…so we’ll say 14 million surplus just in case). So, if there’s a surplus, why are we increasing parking and parking/traffic enforcement fees?
