Thats the way it looks. All right. Thanks so much. 6 14. Next up reporters notebook. Then were back weith more o this mornings news. Good morning. Im pat lawson muse. Fresh pac is staffed by people from mayor bowsers campaign. Her former treasurer wants to raise a million this year. Its smart, but critics say its bad. Does this fly in the face . Its not fresh. Iflts not new. Its not innovative. It goes back to tammany hall and those who ever studied civics or government. I agree with one city councilman. Its very bad politics. Theres no ifs, ands, butser it even though on paper the mayor says it wont target anybody. Once its established you can do with the pac unless restrictions are written in. There are new limits, but this is not illegal. It is unusual, though, to see a pac formed to support a mayor. Well, and for them to say that, you know, we wont do anything here with this, we already know they have said we want to be behind the mayor to support the initiatives. The counter would be if they dont support the mayors initiatives, what are you going to do with this. The important thing is in nonelection years. In nonelection years you can give any amount of money you like. Its reported that the mayors pac has 300,000. I think whats interesting is the Council Members who voted for the bill to squash it, none of them are running for reelection. The five who arent arent supporting this because theyre thinking maybe they have a pac and they dont want to put limits on it. So you have to say where is it going to fall . Is it going to be for the good of the community . Let me say this quickly. Remember, the Supreme Court has ruled citizens united, corporations are people too. You could actually youre absolutely right. It could go that route. The other thing people arent saying is the mayor has the ability to suck up all of the money as opposed to a councilperson that might be running an award and certain Council Members who run at large. Does it matter shes been open about it. Even though decisions about how the money is spent is being raised independently . I dont think it matters. I think what matters is the potential to control the city kouj. I think it does matter in this sense, joe, if it was really shadowy and we didnt know about it, it would be a much bigger issue. She didnt do that. Thats right. The Council Knows about it and the Committee Chairman mcduffy who at the tieme could have changed the law and he didnt. Bikers clash with a house of worship. They say bike lanes would run them out of the neighborhood. The church which is located east of the convention center. They say putting a bike route on sixth street would take away park space. Weve seen standoffs like this before in the district, havent we . Yeah and what were talking about here is gentrification. If you look, its not going to help. Weve seen this in churches in d. C. That was a parking issue again and if you see this letter that was sent out from the church, it is pretty heavy. Theyre talking about racial issues, the fact that the cities want churches to move out so they can get taxemt churches out. Thats where i go back and forth from here to home and what theyre talking about is angular parking on sunday as opposed to parallel because you can get far more cars in there. The reality is that the millenniums who now are occupying a lot of the city, theyve got to learn how to get along with people. This is ridiculous. The reality is its a sunday issue. Here youre saying they cant park to go worship because somebody might be taking away a bike lane as if that many people are out on a bike on sunday morning or any time . This is a problem in which you go into the neighborhood. You want to change the culture. Youve got an attitude about it and quiet honestly i support the church 100 . The city is changing not just in that area but all over. Thats part of it. Theyre saying the times are changing. The church is saying we will sue and we will sue under the First Amendment in terms of religious expression. Thats how far theyre going. What did we do in cities when there werent bike lanes. We found a way. Find a way. Suspending an app. After a criticism used by residents, the georgetown Business District has suspended use of the app. Critics say it was bug used for racial profiling. The service says before they put it back up, theyre going to want a review for those who use the app. Will it satisfy jornl town and the critics . It will if they suspend it. I dont know if theyre keep it out forever. Were talking about the app but i think you have to taj with the department. I think whats problematic, i heard one person say, listen, even if it hurts just a few who have been profiled, it is not worth getting rid of the whole thing. They took it down and theyre working on it. You can have all the sensitivity training you want. This is a very simple matter. If youve got a problem with shoplifting by the way, most of the shoplifting is by employees, lets be honest about that. Secondly, put security guards in place, cameras. I dont think its going to work. Theyre using it not just for shoplifting and suspicious people who come into the show. Theyre using it now for neighborhoods and whether the complexion of a neighborhood changes and therefore may or may not be crimeridden. Got to take a break. Stay with us. Hold the ticketing. There is some confusion about how those tickets are being handed out. Attorney general mark herring says the law as it stands doesnt allow those citations to be delivered in the mail. Youre supposed to be served in person by a Law Enforcement official. But if youre caught on camera runs a red light the law does allow you to get that ticket in the mail. So it sounds like theres some confusion to be cleared up. Clearly its the way the law is written. Clearly the council or legislative body is going to have to go back and tweet the law because what it basically says is if you go past a school bus, which is so dangerous to do, the policeman has to catch you, pull you over, write the ticket. And so its just a mat err of, i think, rewriting the law or creating a new one. The interesting thing is, the law the way it was set up was in the initial pill that you could make out the ticket but once it went through the general assembly, it was taken out. We have to do this. You know, my issue would be, again, you know, is this the best use of the police force . You know, you want to make its fish end. If you want people to have to pay tickets, you want them to pay quickly. If they know it one supposed to be in the bill, it sounds like its going to have to go back into the general assembly. They have to find a way to get people to stop. Thats the real issue. As everyone knows, weve had a lot of deaths and accidents. Yes, its inconvenient when you get behind a school bus, but its very dangerous for the children. The shooting of an unarmed sprungfield man in 2013 has led to proposed changes in Police Practices in fairfax. A panel mount includes more changes. More transparency. More force and a resfru panel. A chigs spent six months examining the way theyve been using force training officers and the way it works with the public. The cynical side of me would say its really not groundbreaking. We need more transparency, more training. I will give them credit for being deliberate. 6 months is a long time. I think the issue for fairfax county, theyve had so many bumps in the role for a couple of times that was in depth. Obviously the prove will be in the petr. You can always put together a piece of paper and a plan but lets see if theyll floichl. I commend them firm bridging together Police Officers, elects officials. Civilians. The one thing i found were comments and blowbacks from the civilian review board. I thought the chairman made a very good point. He doesnt understand. Whats the problem. The military reviews it. Should. There be some blowback from that . But i think they should be applauded for the way they put it toke. Like you said, youre going to have to put everybody together. Hot lanes, everyone is pushing for them. Ire looking for ways to ease the dgridlock on the bridges. For years planners have been talking about the need for a second Potomac River crossing. So you have hov lanes and hot ways on the other side of the bridge, maybe a suggestion would be to have hot lanes and hov lanes on the maryland side. Duh. I mean that makes sense. You have the traffic going out in the morning coming in the evening. Its a lot cheaper to decide to build a new bridge. Once you decide to build a new bridge, how do you pay for it . If you look at larry hogans portion his position was like lets put money in roads and bridges and you had to push to get money for the purple line. Time will tell. Well see. Thank you, gentlemen. And thank you for joining us. Thats reporters notebook. Im pat hawson muse. Stay tuned with us. The news continues right now. Ready set. Were live from the Marine Corps Marathon.
