The D.C. Council does a great job of spending money — as long as it’s your money. A majority of the 13 members have rarely met an agency or a government job or a city service they didn’t want to fund with OPM, as in other people’s money. Just so we start the budgeting season with a measure of honesty, let’s agree that most of the tax money that will fund D.C.’s $5.3 billion spending plan for 2011 comes from residents west of Rock Creek Park. I’m just putting that out there, as they say. And I’m asking: What do they get for their hard-earned taxes?
