Unfinished business in the District

At this time, everyone, including myself, wants things tidied up. That’s understandable. How can a new year begin when problems of the old one hang over the city like a cloud of gloom? So, I went through my notebooks, hoping to learn if the District’s business for 2010 was being properly closed out.

Regrettably, the Office of Campaign Finance’s examination of Ward 5 Councilman Harry Thomas Jr.’s actions surrounding his operation of several nonprofit organizations hasn’t been completed. Neither the audit of Chairman-elect Kwame Brown’s campaign finances nor the special investigation of that recreation facilities contract issued in 2009 by Mayor Adrian M. Fenty’s administration has finished.
