MARY CHEH SHOWS HYPOCRICY & STUPIDITY ON WTOP RADIO

 

 

The local blog DCist reports today:

 

Via FreeRide, we read that WTOP's Mark Plotkin spent part of his live chat with washingtonpost.com yesterday afternoon to call out Ward 3 residents for not caring enough, if at all, about the District's lack of voting rights in Congress.

 

Q: In your experience, do people from Ward 3 generally not support statehood/voting rights? I grew up in the ward - Forest Hills represent - and have found so many people on my parents block not interested in the issue. These aren't people that are here for a year or two; like my parents, they have lived in the District for over 30 years. And none of them will care about Cheh/Ginsburg etc.

 

A new Fenty appointment lives on the block and will up the statehood support, but what is up with Ward 3?

Mark Plotkin: You are absolutely right. Ward 3, more than anything, just wants good city services. I just wish they cared more about this issue. It doesn't seem to bother them, that we are second class citizens.

Plotkin also took the time to express disenchantment with new Ward 3 Council member Mary Cheh for selecting Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsberg to swear her into office, since Ginsberg voted against voting rights for the District in Alexander v. Daley. Apparently when Plotkin spoke to her about the gaffe, he found Cheh to be "quite defensive and wrong." Plotkin did give Cheh props for her remarks in favor of voting rights, however.

 

What's your experience with Ward 3 residents on this issue? Are these Washingtonians really just too comfortable in their wealth and luxury to be bothered to stand up for their constitutional rights? Or is this an unfair generalization?

 

Mark Plotkins hit it on the head. The greedy people of Ward 3 do not care about DC, about anybody outside of Ward 3 and this is because they are too busy selling to others their phony lines while they conspire to keep the rest of DC poor.

 

Mary Cheh is a crook and that is why the crooked voters of Ward 3 picked her.
