The plan, the plan

Mayor Vincent Gray was visibly annoyed last week when I asked during his press briefing whether he has a 100-day plan for his administration. “Why don’t we have a 200-day plan?” he shot back. To which I replied, I would be happy with that and asked whether it was available. Obviously no one is wedded to a specific number of days. Rather it’s the document that holds importance. Once upon a time — the mayor likes it when I use that phrase — Gray was a plan man.

Raise your hands if you remember those days of tangible, measurable reality.
