We were waiting for the budget to get done to push for a hearing on the Open Government Act. The final vote was Tuesday.
Now everything is up in the air. With Kwame Brown’s resignation one of the at-large council members, David Catania, Michael Brown, Phil Mendelso or Vincent Orange, will become chairman. That may cause a shuffling of committee assignments. So we probably need to try to get CM Bowser to hold a hearing soon.
In addition, with nomination of the ethics board made, we need to press the need to appoint the right type of person to be director of the Open Government Office
