Temporary DCRA head may stay on

Mayor Adrian Fenty today is expected to nominate the interim director of the Department of Consumer and Regulatory Affairs as the troubled agency’s permanent chief, only two months after saying he could find no one in-house to fill the job.

Linda Argo was named interim DCRA director April 13, days after Fenty’s first pick for the temporary seat resigned. At the time, Fenty said the District’s permitting, zoning and licensing agency was “both managed, administered and structured substandard.”
