If I knew Mr. Fournier's position on the issue, I would have said something, but in Mr. Fournier’s response he made some rather odd statements that needed to be pointed out. I have stated here that I believe Mr. Fournier’s stand on the issue, I never doubted or questioned it. What I did question was the inferring he did. I didn't write the article, as you point out correctly. And you are correct…the only option for anti same sex marriage opposition voters would either be Mr. Fournier or a write in. As you know I was very vocal on the issue here in Ward 5. I formerly lived in MA and fought hard for the issue there too! So I am sure to feel the effects of that at the voting booth. Councilman Thomas felt it in the primary, a fact. Special interest groups and opponents railed against him.

I have seen others asking you to respond to their questions, post the list of what you have done for the community over the past four years, and you have never done so. Instead, you accuse Mr. Fournier for not having come to the ANC meetings. Mr. Fournier has not been the ANC for the past four years to go to those meetings. But you have been. I see our neighbors have asked you to tell us what you have done for the community by going to those meetings? And you have not answered. I see more than anything, you say what you have done speak for themselves and what Mr. Fournier has done speak for themselves. But I don't see you saying exactly what have you done for the past four years? If Mr. Fournier becomes the next ANC, then we will ask him the same questions. But for now, you are the one who have been given the opportunity for the past four years, but it seems you have nothing to show for it other than constantly saying my work speaks for itself, without saying what it is that you have done.

He has failed to appear at any ANC meetings in the past four years. Since he achieved ballot access he had not appeared at the last two ANC meetings. It's a shame that he fails to understand the needs of the community, but would rather let special interest groups from outside our SMD influence his options instead of the very people who live here in SMD 5C07. It's in an attempt to push the agenda of the special interest groups who have endorsed him. I have worked hard in this SMD on a variety of issues for the past four years and my record and experience speaks for itself. It's a shame that Mr. Fournier has to resort to these tactics. It's especially sad to see that he operates his law practice in DC without a HOP permit, fails to register his car in DC after 11 years of living in our community. Do we really want a lawyer to represent this community? One who has been involved with the McMillan Park committee's lawsuit against the city? A lawyer who skirts the law to save a few dollars! Character is everything and Mr. Fournier's actions speak for them.TheCommisshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14712967845031648192noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17267242.post-38526447036250290892010-10-20T13:34:23.962-04:002010-10-20T13:34:23.962-04:00@Marget--Was not aware of your issues nor was I co...@Marget--Was not aware of your issues nor was I copied on the topic.

I live on the 100 block of Bryant Street. In the past 2 years when I encountered serious problems with a next door neighbor who flooded my basement and kept a section of the alley behind our properties full of rodent-infested trash, John Salatti was identified by my neighbors on my block and by Alice Waters of the Mayor’s Office as the person who would be most likely to assist me and in both cases this turned out to be true. Frankly, I was not even aware that Mr. Daneker is the commissioner for my block or that he was in a position to be of assistance. Mr Salatti and Ms. Waters copied Mr Danecker on all correspondence between themselves and me re my problems and never once did I hear anything from Mr Danecker. Not one word. In contrast, Mr. Salatti was extraordinarily responsive and followed up consistently until matters were resolved to my assistance. Thus, I for one will continue to seek and welcome Mr. Salatti’s assistance unless and until whoever is the commissioner for my block is more responsive.Margarethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02973140073014352735noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17267242.post-37253287237748199132010-10-18T17:02:24.642-04:002010-10-18T17:02:24.642-04:00@Justme--Again you like to misquote...use the whol...@Justme--Again you like to misquote...use the whole quote, not just half of it.

So, like you said to Nolan, you can't have it both ways either. I may not be a blogger per se, but I do have an opinion on you, despite whether you represent me, and I will share it here.<br /><br />I have numerous times commented on this blog and the others regarding the BBC issue at your lack of professionalism in what you have written. I have found your blog posts to be unbecoming of a neighbor, much less a representative of the ANC. I have suggested that you apologize for several of your comments on these blogs (for example: http://www.washingtoncitypaper.com/blogs/housingcomplex/2010/07/20/anc-5c-votes-against-big-bear-cafe-liquor-license/). <br /><br />Yet despite my requests for an apology to the community and the repeated comments by others on this blog and elsewhere, you continue down this path of "I am right and the world is wrong." Is this really the type of attitude that 5C07 or any Ward 5 citizen wants?C.J.https://www.blogger.com/profile/07671967631161633465noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17267242.post-3949927326337838892010-10-17T04:54:49.320-04:002010-10-17T04:54:49.320-04:00Looks like Mr. Daneker does not see a need to work...Looks like Mr. Daneker does not see a need to work with the community when he has the backing of the EYA and the City officials.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17267242.post-58419607937258825322010-10-16T17:00:56.839-04:002010-10-16T17:00:56.839-04:00Mr. Daneker,

You are very correct in quoting me. But o...Barrie,<br /><br />You are very correct in quoting me. But once again, Barrie, you assume that just because I said you are corrupt and criminal I am wrong and you are right, and others must agree with you even without having heard my justifications and reasons for what I have said, and wanting to do what I said I am going to do (suing you and a few others on the MAG, etc.). But please accept that this is not how a democratic society is about. Even criminal people are first heard before they are judged. That is obviously something that you don't think anyone except you deserves to have, because you just simply convict me for what I said to you, regardless of what you did and are still doing--which are the reasons why I said what I said. In other words, you think you are allowed to lie to us (people) and deceive us, work for the best interest of developers, NEVER answer our questions, but ALWAYS ALWAYS be a barrier between us and truth, and our democratic rights and justice, and so forth. But no one should dare trying to stop you and point out your actions. If you think I am not accurate in my description of you, then would you please give us your answers to the following: <br /><br />1. When did I say you are corrupt and criminal and said I will sue you, and few MAG members and some others? For example, after what event did I say the above? Did I say those things to you the first day after I met you? If not, when did I start saying the above? Could you give us an estimated date or event as my starting date? <br /><br />2. Why do you think I said you are "corrupt" and "criminal?" In other words, could you give us your understanding of what my reasons were or could have been for saying the above to you? <br /><br />Meanwhile, I want you to know that I greatly appreciate the opportunity of finally being able to speak with you back and forth and hopefully getting answers from you. I am confident that this is an opportunity for both of us to express what we both believe and stand for, and explain why we say and do what we say and do. I am also glad we are doing this conversation this way in front of the community. I would also like to tell you that at the end of our conversations (assuming you will continue with me to the end) I will be just as happy if I find cases in which I made mistakes. As I have said many time before, and I have done it before, I always stand up and admit my mistakes and do my best to learn from them. That, I think, is one of the essence of life that adds to our human quality (beyond just looking like humans on the outside). <br /><br />Thanks again for the productive opportunity. I look forward to your answers (as well as a little bit of change in the tactic of assuming that you can be the judge on everyone's behalf).<br /><br />Mehdi<br />payk@mehdi.us<br />(202)657-6457Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17267242.post-80074672227821950352010-10-15T15:13:24.656-04:002010-10-15T15:13:24.656-04:00brick sidewalks and alleys are good for strong tre...brick sidewalks and alleys are good for strong trees. nature makes students smarter.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17267242.post-49572319355846757652010-10-15T14:41:56.861-04:002010-10-15T14:41:56.861-04:00I will not support city funded brick alleys and si...<i>I will not support city funded brick alleys and sidewalks until we have at least an 80% graduation rate. </i><br /><br />Mr Fournier, here is your campaign platform: Barrie insists that we live in a crumbling ghetto instead of with good quality infrastructure and amenities, while paying the 9.75% marginal income tax rates. <br /><br />Barrie, if quality of life improvements to our community mean brick alleys and refraining from throwing a temper tantrum when the BBC applies for a liquor license, that's what you do, not make self-important grand pronouncements about graduation rates that you, <i>as a local neighborhood volunteer</i> have nothing to do with.

For the past two or close to three years ...Barrie,<br /><br />For the past two or close to three years that I have known you, all I have seen from you has been your acts against people, and 100% commitment to developers and the City. For example, out of the dozens and dozens of times when I and a few other MAG members struggled to get answers from the City to our questions regarding the 100% closed and secretive McMillan process, and seeing the contracts that the City has been signing with EYA and other developers in complete secrecy, you ALWAYS took side with the City and EYA/developers and went against us--without ANY EXCEPTIONS. And all the while you continued deceiving people by saying that you are "on people's side." I asked you to define that phrase and show us how you have done it, and never did. And EVERY TIME when I asked you ANY questions, you gave me run-around responses and then clamied that you have answered to my questions (like what you did here on this blog again). As you know, every time you gave me the above response I asked to PLEASE once for all resend me those answers that you say you gave me but you NEVER did. Here, in front of all of our community I am asking, even pleading to you to PLEASE post here to this blog those answers that you keep saying you have sent to me. If you are not going to do that, PLEASE tell us why not? And tell us what can I or anyone do so you would post those answers here?<br /><br />Here is another case: you said above that I have threatened you and some MAG members to filing a lawsuit against you. I am now asking you to PLEASE answer to these simple questions: <br /><br />1. PLEASE tell us what I told you and everyone about what my reasons for doing the lawsuit are?<br /><br />2. What do you think my reasons are for putting myself (and even my family maybe) in such HUGE dangers (that I have seen a dozen of them already) for going "head-to-head" with powerful politicians, officials, and businesses, and take the risk of being labeled with all kinds of "adjectives" by people who don't know me and why I am doing what I am doing, but also by people like you intentionally? <br /><br />I look forward to hearing from you about the your responses to the above. <br /><br />Thanks.<br /><br />Mehdi<br />payk@mehdi.us<br />(202)657-6457Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
