ANC Commissioner Election (2F-08)
Election Day is almost upon us. In addition to voting in the presidential and city council elections, residents will have the opportunity to vote for our ANC Commissioner (2F-08), which is a contested seat this year. The Board has met with both Mr. Matt Connolly (incumbent) and Mr. Howard Marks (challenger), and feels confident that both candidates would represent our neighborhood well. We encourage you, however, to review their individual statements and interviews on the Borderstan blog to better familiarize yourself with the candidates:
Our current ANC Commissioner Matt Connolly as been instrumental in helping our neighborhood take on the rat problem existing at both 1111 and 1113 Massachusetts Avenue. He has written letters, taken photographs, and attended meetings on our behalf and has been crucial in coordinating between the neighbors, the DC Department of Public Works, the DC Department of Health, and City Councilmember Jack Evans' office. As a result, 1111 Massachusetts Avenue recently paid a fine of $16,000 to the city for improper disposal of trash, and the city scheduled a Condemnation Hearing regarding the carriage house/garage at 1113 Massachusetts Avenue.
It is very important that whomever is elected continues this multi-agency effort. Additionally, pedestrian safety at the intersection of 12th and Massachusetts remains an important issue for New Plaza and we hope whichever individual is elected will continue Matt's efforts to date.
If you have any questions, please (as always) feel free to email the Board at board@thenewplaza.com.
Please vote!
