Now, I’m not commenting on Mayor Fenty and the Bates Area Civic Association has taken no political stance on his re-election, but this reference in the Washington City Paper regarding a photo op, when our billboards came down is … hilarious. I’m glad he cared! For the record, there was a press conference with the mayor in December, after the billboards were removed.

Several sources said Fenty has a ferocious temper. Last December, according to multiple sources, Fenty kicked a trash can, slammed a door, and screamed, “I’m the F-*&ing mayor,” after learning that some much-hated New Jersey Avenue NW billboards were being removed without his being present for a photo-op. A Fenty campaign spokesman disputes the details of that event.

I’m glad he cared too. Bravo for our community making a difference and him taking note!
