Psycho Posted August 18, 2006 Report Share Posted August 18, 2006 Mayoral Candidate Adrian Fenty Conceded Ward 3 Candidate Rees Is Right See Jonathan R. Rees' new website and his position on all issues of importance to you. Click here > http://www.rees2006.com In the various mayoral events, each side has accused each other of things but Adrian Fenty was accused of stealing his economic/tax plan for DC from ward 3 Candidate Jonathan Rees. Fact and the public record supports it but Mayoral Candidate Adrian Fenty has adopted verbatim an identical economic/tax plan to the one Rees laid out in the Washington Times and in the Tenleytown list server back in September 2005. Fenty when asked if he had plagiarized the plan denied such but only commented that some of those running for office clearly are wanting to take DC in the right direction. Rees' school plan is the most extensive and modeled after the successful programs of California and New York City that helped raise student grades and SAT examination scores as outlined in his website.

Luke_Wilbur Posted August 24, 2006 Report Share Posted August 24, 2006 I spoke on with Kathy Brown, a newly hired assistant to Adrian Fenty about Mr. Rees statement. She promised that Alec Evens, Press Secretary to Adrian Fenty would give me a call. Mrs. Brown then spoke her opinion about Mr. Fenty: He is a man of integrity. He has made mistakes, but he is not a man that tries to line his pockets. What struck me most his how every day Adrian Fenty looks me in the eye and thanks me for helping out. He does the that with all his volunteers. The people that are putting his character should be scrutinized. He does not want to fall to that petty name calling. We need to roll our sleeves and get to work. Fenty believes that [District] children can [and] should get the best education possible. Crime is on the rise. This should be a priority. Fenty is a District family man that wants to make a difference. - Kathy Brown. Mayoral Candidate Adrian Fenty Conceded Ward 3 Candidate Rees Is Right See Jonathan R.

bfrankdc Posted August 25, 2006 Report Share Posted August 25, 2006 Luke, I will be curious to Alec Evans reply. B.

Psycho Posted August 25, 2006 Author Report Share Posted August 25, 2006 Luke, I thought Alec Evans was Fenty's chief of the campaign. If you go back to when Fenty first started his campaign, he was opposed to any tax cuts, I presented my ideas to him, he thought they were too steep and then later on adopted verbatim my original presentation. I then spoke with Kojo and he said that he saw a stark similarity and wanted to get Fenty to answer on his show my claim that he was using my idea if Fenty denied it. Later on, the Kojo show said that Fenty's office did not admit or deny my claim other than Mr. Rees like Mr. Fenty just wants to take DC in the right direction on taxes and so on. I would love to see what Alec Evans has to say and I am sure Kojo would to if he actuallys address it head on.

Luke_Wilbur Posted August 25, 2006 Report Share Posted August 25, 2006 I just spoke with Alec Evens. He stated that in no way was Jonathan Rees statement true. He also stated that Adrian Fenty has been working on his economic plan for months now. He then thanked me for taking the time to set the record straight.

Psycho Posted August 25, 2006 Author Report Share Posted August 25, 2006 Luke, Alec Evans may deny it but that is not what he said to Kojo' staff. Go back to October 2005 and you will see in the media that Fenty was opposed to tax cuts, raising the deduction levels but later on changed on the issues. When he did and others saw it, Kojo's staff said Fenty's plan seems like the one Rees has and that is what triggered a belief he might have adopted what I wrote and altered it a wee bit.
