It's His Party, But Not His Bill Mayor Williams will be sworn in to his second term on Thursday, Jan. 2. Someone has to foot the bill for his inaugural celebration, but it's not the taxpayer.
Wondering whom the Mayor has to thank for his party? Here's a list of individual and corporate contributions to the Mayor's festivities, including $25,000 from Comcast, which holds the city's cable franchise, and $15,000 kicked in by the company that provides the District's red-light speeding cameras. If you want to rub elbows with the District's power brokers, here's a list of the events open to the public. And take note of these street closures.
DC Metro Action is published by Michael Schlesinger, a 32-year veteran of electoral and issue organizing who is committed to social justice and to increasing participation in the political process.
