When Adrian M. Fenty arrived in the mayoral suite with his now-infamous assistant, Dan Tangherlini, and his bulldog legal counsel, Peter Nickles, he must have decided the first order of business would be rearranging the government landscape. He has aggressively re-established executive prerogatives, expanded his field of authority and placed handpicked sentries at every door.
His imprint hasn’t just been placed on a Columbia Heights soccer field. Fenty has marched through the government, leaving his mark on everything, including independent agencies once considered untouchable. Loyalists have been left to ensure captured territory doesn’t fall into others’ hands. The Shermanesque campaign has been breathtaking.
