doesn't matter what the score was. only braggerts care. >> back in 15 minutes with more of the morning's top stories. good morning. welcome to reporters notebook. i'm pat lawson muse. we begin this morning with concerns about red at d.c. general. news 4 first reported blood tests on two children staying at the homeless shelter showed high level of led in their systems. one of the cafeterias subsequently tested positive for led forcing closure of the area where families had their meals. city health officials are testing the entire shelter. whether it's not clear whether those two children are exposed here, testing is being offered to all children living at the shelter. residents private rooms are being tested. your reaction to the testing and does it put pressure on the mayor to close. >> that was going through my mind as you went through the litany of problems. it's one more nail in the coffin to close. led poisoning is extremely serious. we have housing rules where you can't rent or have led chips in painting. this is a major, major problem. i think you're right, it's one more nail in the coffin to the facility. >> are you satisfied with the city's response to it? >> i think so. they are saying they don't know if the led in the homeless shelter was the cause. they know there are problems there. i have been in that shelter. it is not in the best condition. d.c. general, this problem has gone on and on. we've talked about mayor bowser said she wants to close this by 2016. to joe's point, i think this is a big problem for her because it's not going to go away. it's not a facility that's in great shape. they know there's probably led in their somewhere. so i think for the mayor, they have to figure out something. i don't know if she's going to be able to make it to 2016 to be quite honest. i think they are going onhave to put this on the fasttrack and figure out what to do with this old d.c. general. >> what do you think, dave? >> two things. how has the oversight been and how long has this led paint situation existed. yeah it is another problem. maybe the death knell for this hospital. what do they do to get a new one. from what i'm picking up in my reporting, there are constant problems with that fall. nobody thinks it's working yet it continues to exist because nobody can or will find a solution. >> if it is a led problem, then here is the other problem, the cost of cleaning it up. there is where it becomes a major expense for the city. >> an old building. >> that's it. it's an old building. it's not a place even you want homeless folks to be in if you've been in that facility. >> power struggles in the district. it appears mayor bowser will get some but not all of what she wants from the city council in the proposed $13 billion spending plan. while there is strong support for investing and spending on social services and education, housing for the homeless the council seems unwilling to expand bowser's powers of office. this includes the effort to consolidate powers now held by d.c.'s attorney general. she hopes it would set the tone? >> without a doubt. i don't think you can blame the mayor to see how much power she gets. she's new, i have a mandate, replaced sitting mayor from within my party. therefore people want me and i believe i should have these powers to transform the city in the way i want. she has two new counsel members coming on board, folks she supported. i think this is a typical sort of power play politically. i think what it will tell us is really who kind of has the power right now. i don't think it's a bad thing this is happening? >> dave should the mayor have the power some should racine be indiana? >> that's the argument. the argument it was a carefully thought out position creation. the fact is he should have certain powers not the mayor. there was a worry when he created it he would partly cloudy overbearing with the mayor, another player in the city's situation. whether there's a concern on her part that that's going to happen you'd have an argument about whether or not there's any evidence of that. the fact remained there was a lot of time money, and expense going into creating this position and why you're going to throw it out because the mayor doesn't think that person. >> he ran on the understanding he would be independent. the other thought that comes to my mind is that we always talk pout the importance of looking like a state, wanting to be a state. if this were a state and we had statehood, the reality is that carl racine would be the attorney general of the state and independent. i think, as you said this is a power play. she'll have to learn to compromise. the reality is karl racine this position should not be a cabinet position. he needs to be independent. that's what he ran on that's what people elected him on that's what it should be. >> redefining police assault in the district. the definition of assault on a d.c. police officer may change. city council could hold hearings on precisely what assault means or should mean. wmau radio pad rick madden reported this that another city minor in fractions, wiggling while handcuffed or yelling can constitute assault. places like maryland have other options for charging you. police union says current law is hard on them. they think it's sort of apartment kuwait antiquated? >> wiggling? walking while black. now you can wiggle while black and get arrested. the reason i bring up a lot of these lawyers go back to the riots of the '60s, the vietnam demonstration. they should be looked at. >> dave how do you think this would impact policing in the city today. >> clearly there's a lot of concerns. it's funny how since we had the incident in ferguson and new york and baltimore and now the story on our colleagues and wamu. what we learned about what the people are like in these situations young black people often white police force. now we learn a law nobody paid much attention, i have did not very little until this particular issue came up. what i'm getting is this is certainly a law that needs to be changed, needs to be modified. it isn't working properly. it allows again, police undue influence over the people they are arresting. >> this is something we know nothing about unless you're arresting for assault by police if you're wiggling because you have handcuffs on. it's a problem in many areas. came out and said she's against it the police union is against the current law and they want to see it changed. i think statistically i think what's interesting, two-thirds of those arrests, folks are not charged and they are not charged with any other crime. so right there it tells you it's taking up a lot of time for police. i think it's problematic in terms of the imaging of police also. when you have a jurisdiction in maryland where you can be arrested for resisting arrest but having the same sort of back and forth with a police officer and you can be charged with assault because your cuffs are too tight. >> got to take a break. we'll be right back. stay with us. right now verizon is offering unlimited talk and text. plus 10

redundancy already includes a maneuver, a reverse two-point turnaround or turn about which involves the same skills as parallel parking. now you don't have to learn to parallel park in maryland d.c. or virginia. joe. >> yes, you do. >> you do have to master that reverse two-point turn about. >> it's just not required to pass your test but you darn well better learn how to parallel park in d.c. >> or anywhere else. >> or anywhere else in america. it's become a nationalesh. i didn't realize how much states have gotten rid of it. what you aren't telling people is there's this highway to failure. maybe it's like when i lived in the midwest, we used to always tell a car, i hate to say this from chicago, because the front bumper was bumped in back bumper bumped in bumped out, that's the way you parallel park. >> this is wrong. >> you mentioned failure rate. apparently it's high the parallel parking portion of the test in maryland has a high failure rate. there are some who say it creates long lines, slows things down. if you don't have parallel parking, get your license faster and the lines will move faster. >> first let me cop to the fact i failed my parallel parking the first time. >> no. >> yes, i did. i did pass. >> you were probably what? >> 16. >> 29. >> no at 16. but to your point, you've gone to mba, lines are long. the argument is it decreases the lines. who is going to argue against that but we all know you still have to parallel park. you have a car, right? >> that's why i would argue against it. >> you have to parallel park. the two-point turn around i would argue is not the same as learning how to parallel park. i don't understand this other than the lines. i don't like it. >> many years ago when i took my test it was imbued in my by my father and traffic folks, learning to parallel park is emblematic of learning how to drive. if that's the skill you don't have you don't know how to drive. you've simply got to do it. it was a tough thing to do. yet we're not doing it because of long lines, people can't pass i like to talk to miami beach about the criteria. >> can i add one thing. we're soon going to have technology in cars you see it on commercials now, the car automatically parallel parks. it parks itself. maybe they are thinking ahead. >> the school board back to the drawing board in montgomery county. the interim superintendent stays a year after the top candidate drops out. dr. andrew hulli han says he backed out for reasons. the current interim will delay his june retirement for a year. what's the back story. >> i think here what's going on bowser is a guy -- >> bowers. >> bowers i'm sorry. going back to the mayor. has been there over three decades, the school board knows him. if we back up a little bit, graduation rates were up when joshua starr was the superintendent. he seemed to get along with community members of he's moved on gotten another job, yet the school board can't find someone to lead the state's largest school district someone with experience. the person they interviewed was from houston, experience with several jobs but not superintendent. i do think the question goes back to the school board. is there a reason you can't find someone to lead this school system the largest in the state, have you to go back to an interim person also hadn't been a superintendent. >> you're right. not only is the interim superintendent been there for three decades but he appears to be very popular. and people seem to have a tremendous amount of respect for him. so maybe a lot of people are saying he should be the superintendent. number two. i don't understand how you offer a job, how your number one candidate is somebody who has never been a superintendent and then you want to put them in a position to be the superintendent of the largest school district in the state and one of the most successful? doesn't make sense to me. >> your thoughts? >> some are saying. some people are wondering maybe it's time to take a closer look at the school board. how do they handle mr. starr's departure and how are they handling this new situation? is there some criteria they are applying something that's going on? i'm not saying any of this is true but it does seem -- there seems to be perhaps from my reporting tells me some troubling aspects of this whole situation. >> final question will you attend preakness if run in laurel as opposed to pimlico. >> answer yes. it's part of the triple. i don't think it makes any difference where it is. it's not churchill downs. pinnacle is older. the community has changed. it's still the preakness. >> i think the diehards will still go. again, the optics of this everything going on baltimore, this would be one more backhand slap at the city that they would actually move one of the triple crown races out of the city and move it into laurel which is really seen as a suburb of washington, d.c. >> the idea dave is to boost attendance and interest. >> horse racing has faced tough times. they need an injection. they are obviously thinking they are can improve the situation by moving. would you move from church hill downs for the kentucky derby, aqueduct or belmont stakes? baltimore -- i don't think baltimore will lay down and let the race get away. >> they are going to fight this one and i would, too, if it were baltimore. >> they can fight for improvements from pimlico, use it as a wedge issue to get something done there. >> thank you, gentlemen. that's reporters notebook. thanks for being with us.
