New condos, offices, bars and restaurants are sprouting around the city. And while many residents are enjoying DC's development boom, that doesn't mean developers are loved. Some people distrust the motives and methods of those involved in redeveloping the city, not to mention developers' often close ties to government officials and politicians. We speak to architect Roger Lewis about development in the District, and we also speak to advocates and about the contentious redevelopment plans for the former McMillan Sand Filtration site.

If the VMP plan is so wonderful, why do they illegally hire a Baltimore PR firm to fake grass roots support. Bowser is co-conspirator, she doesn't even know what is going on at McMillan, providing miserable oversight. She facilitates lies by Jeff Miller the VMP project mananger and now Deputy Mayor for Planning and Economic Development. She said "city money paying for PR campaign looks bad to the public", DMPED oversight City Council Committee on Economic Development, Feb, 11, 2014. He lies to her and says DMPED didn't pay for the PR campaign that's goal is "neutralize opposition, and "create the appearance of community support for VMP".
This was Unethical PR campaign to subvert community opposition to VMP,
Please see the City Council hearing video below, Brookland residents landscape architect Mary Pat Rowan and historic restoration artist Daniel Wolkoff testify to Muriel Bowser Chair of the City Council Committee on Economic Development. This link goes to the testimony on McMillan Park from February 2014

What exact law was broken by hiring the PR firm you reference?
Daniel...you do realize that there is actual community support for this. Your opinions do not reflect or represent the entire community. Just cause you don't like it doesn't mean everyone dislikes it. BTW...what law is broken with hiring a PR firm
