I wanted to ask the councilwoman, what she thought about the actions of the current director of public works in putting 32 families out on the street from the SWEEP division. He is doing this even though he has 42 vacancies on his books and in the same breath the Mayor is talking about job training for unemployed DC residents, I don't get it. These are the very important city Inspectors that help to keep the neighborhoods sanitized and of a quality that is appealing to potential couples that are thinking of raising families. Cleanliness also makes the city a great place to play. What are we doing here? I am one who remembers how this city use to look and, I don't want to go back there.
