New Blog for ANC 5C-02
I am in the process of compiling a new blog apart from this campaign blog and will be moving post-election posts from this blog to the new one.

On November 7th, 2006, the D.C. voters in Ward Five, ANC 5C-02, elected me to a position on the 5C Advisory Neighborhood Commission. Please visit my blog at www.5c02.blogspot.com for updates on neighborhood activities and concerns.
I am in the process of compiling a new blog apart from this campaign blog and will be moving post-election posts from this blog to the new one.
I will hold my next single member district meeting:
I am holding my first monthly Single Member District ANC meeting at 11 a.m. this Saturday January 20 at Emery Elementary School (1720 1st Street N.E.).
Tonight I stopped by Super Liquor this evening shortly before 10 p.m. because it was still open. The owner told me that he won his petition to remain open until 10 p.m. because the ANC protest "didn't go through," which I interpret to mean that the protest failed due to a technical legal/procedural defect. No one showed up, he said.
I was sworn in yesterday and this is my first post as the new commissioner. Naturally, I will need to transition to a different format for posting. So I am open to suggestions.
Tonight around 9:30 I was riding the 80 bus home. Shortly after the bus turned left onto North Capitol Street, the bus driver noticed that a passenger in the back of the bus possessed something, probably food or drink, prohibited by Metro regulations.
At the ANC meeting last Tuesday, the Commission unanimously voted against a request by the owner of SuperLiquor located at 1633 North Capitol Street N.E. to extend the store hours from the current 9 p.m. closing time, to one hour later, 10 p.m.
Happy Thanksgiving, everyone. I am currently spending Thanksgiving with my family, but will try to write up a recap of this past Tuesday's ANC meeting soon.
The first prong of my platform is that I will hold monthly meetings with the residents of 5c-02.
And now for a word about the question "What now?"
I would like to thank my campaign volunteers!
I want to thank everyone for their words of support. Now, I only hope that everyone won't disappear when it comes time to volunteer for the hard work needed to execute the principles set forth in my campaign platform.
