it is amazing...

...that people running for ANC 5E candidate positions in November don't attend current ANC 5C meetings.

Hi Scott-

I can only speak for myself, but I attend most ANC meetings. I had last night's meeting on my calendar, but since I did not leave the Wilson Building last night until after 7, I thought I would have missed most of this one. It appeared to be a light ANC agenda,and the conclusion of the Oversight Roundtable, with the questioning of DC Water's GM, was the most interesting part of the hearing.

Sorry to have missed it! Care to share any news from the meeting? Only saw a couple of tweets.

Yes, many residents and others were attending yesterday's long-running CM Cheh flooding roundtable, so some people may have opted out of last night's ANC 5C meeting -- certainly understandable. The highlight of the ANC 5C meeting? In Eckington, the District Alliance for Safe Housing (D.A.S.H.) was requesting an exemption(of sorts) on a fence that is perhaps too high; the discussion became rather animated when very nearby residents to the D.A.S.H. facility described "bad behavior" by some of the residents. No vote or action was taken by the commission on the D.A.S.H. request.
