Psycho Posted October 6, 2006 Report Share Posted October 6, 2006 When I first met Mary Cheh after she announced that she was joining the ranks of those who wanted to run for the ward 3 city council seat, she made it very clear that she was an anti-development type. A few months later, Mary Cheh did a complete flip flop on the issue when developers like Akridge, PN Hoffman, EastBanc and others along with their employees offered contributions and help in her efforts to win this race. Mary Cheh did what most lawyers are good at, and that is, she whored herself and sold out her values to win. Most anti-development people in ward 3 which total more people than voted for her saw how Mary Cheh had no spine or any real moral values. Now Mary Cheh faces an anti-development Republican challenger next month named Theresa Conroy and the emails from anti-development Democrats encouraging people to jump party lines and vote Conroy are circulating. I doubt that a Mary Cheh on the DC City Council will achieve much her first term if anything, as incoming council members like Jim Graham had reported that the other council members treated them like they did not exist, they got no chairmanships on any committees and their proposed legislation always seemed to be the last dealt with in their first term on the council. If history repeats itself, Mary Cheh will be no threat to anti-development types the next four years unless other members of the city council are already prepared to do what Cheh wants and then her vote will matter. Cheh's pro-development mindset as a puppet for Akridge, PN Hoffman, EastBanc and others will hurt DC more than help it, as it will drive up the cost of living in DC, drive more middle and low income earners out and it will only benefit developers but not the people of DC, as the wages offered by these various ventures are too low, just as the Nationals baseball team only offers seasonal and low paying jobs while their presence benefits only their owners, players and the DC Government but not the people of DC. My family who owns the majority control of Mohawk Industries which is the world's largest textile manufacturing concern providing carpets (Karastan-Bigelow), linens and more to almost every federal government building understood that DC was no place to operate from as the costs were double what it would be anywhere else in the USA, its local government was clearly anti-business and that is why we kept our operations in the southern USA, Caribbean and parts of Asia. A Mary Cheh mindset is one that would see your taxes go up drastically and drive out the needed blue collar work force all of Cheh's backers need to go and grow with. The one profession that has the highest rate of business failure is being a lawyer as they are nortorious for constantly making bad business decisions. While Mary Cheh is a nice person, I think ward 3 will in time regret electing her. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
