Crime is down nation-wide and the school test scores are coming up each year, including well before Fenty took over. Fenty has done nothing but make his friend rich and destroy the trust in government. Avoiding FOIA requests, illegal contracts to friends, firing those who question the legality of decisions, and even makes sure a friend is granted a professional license without passing an exam (NOTE: Fenty appoints the licensing board), the contracts his friends are granted are given mark-ups that are not common business practice. Fenty is corrupt and cannot stand on his own. Take away things that Williams started and you have little to nothing to show…other than his friends having deep pockets.

See test score info…get the facts right.
