Racine says It’s Too Early to Think about It, But He Sure Sounds Like a Candidate

By Larry Janezich

Karl Racine had a busy day last Monday.  Mid-day, he was on the steps of the Supreme Court, announcing along  with Texas State Attorney General Paxton an antitrust investigation of Google and Facebook filed with 48 other State and Territory Attorneys General.  And yet, there he was at 7:00pm in the DCRA HQ in Southwest, in response to a request from ANC6D Chair Gail Fast to give a presentation about the work of the Office of the Attorney General.  He sat patiently, with about 80 other attendees, through 20 minutes of introductions and community announcements by commissioners and members of the community before taking the podium to give an overview of how his office operates and how he has used the law for the benefit of the city’s residents.

He said that the 2014 election when he was elected demonstrated that DC residents wanted an AG “answerable to the people and not to the boss.  People wanted an independent Attorney General with resources to work in the public interest for DC residents.”  His mission, as he sees it, is to maximize use of the law in way to “help those of us more vulnerable than others.”  Racine cited examples:

Affordable housing – his office went after slum lords like Sanford Capitol and pushed them out of the District for seven years.

Workers’ rights – he pursued wage theft and worker mis-classification, bringing suit against Power Design which relied on wage theft as a business model.

Consumer protection – his office mediates residents’ complaints to bring resolution to complaints without filing a law suit.

Elderly Abuse – the office’s Elderly Abuse Prevention Section has detailed an assistant to the office of the US Attorney to prosecute scammers taking advantage of elders.

Public Safety – he stated his deep commitment and noted his office’s limited prosecutorial ability:  all juvenile cases (“wrapping arms around juveniles who touch the justice system can avert a lot of potential dangers”) and 25% of adult misdemeanors.   (The Office of the US Attorney General prosecutes adult felonies in the District.)

In addition, Racine noted that he had sued Facebook, is investigating Google for anti-competitive activities, and has been active in suits against the Trump administration regarding immigration and student borrowers.

In response to a question from a commissioner, Racine took a deep dive into the controversial Second Look Act, expressing some reservations, and calling out the US Attorney’s Office for misrepresentation regarding law enforcement issues in the District.

After the meeting, CHC asked Racine if he is going to run for Mayor.  He said, “It’s way too early to think about anything like that.”  Maybe.  But it didn’t look that way Monday night.

DDOT: Resident Only Parking Signs and The Sorcerer’s Apprentice

by Larry Janezich

Like The Sorcerer’s Apprentice, DDOT just can’t stop doing the wrong thing on parking signs. The DC Department of Transportation has launched a frenzy of activity in ANC 6D under pressure from CM Charles Allen to restore cross walk markings and from ANC6D to install four way stop as well as Zone 6 Resident Only Parking signs.

Residents of in many parts of ANC 6B04 have objected to the new red-lettered Resident Only Parking signs being put up on both sides of the street in their blocks. In fact, DDOT was supposed to put them on one side only.

The push for one-side-of-the-Street Resident Only parking signs came from constituents of Commissioner Kirsten Oldenburg. They were concerned about loss of parking because of the numerous multiunit residential projects and going up in and around Oldenburg’s single member district. Developers often agree to try to keep residents of multiunit buildings from applying for Residential Parking Permits.

Oldenburg, after surveying both her residential and business constituents, obtained support from ANC6B to request the Resident Only Parking signs on one side of the blocks in her district. Oldenburg said the constituents’ requests came initially in March 2018 and it took her until November 2018 to survey her constituents and to get support from the ANC. The signs started going up six months later.

The first incorrect signs showed up in the 1100 block of G Street last July. Oldenburg notified the Department of Transportation they were doing it wrong. A month later in late August, Oldenburg did a block by block survey and sent the information to the Department of Transportation about blocks which had not yet received signage and blocks where it had been done wrong.

Yet, the incorrect placement of signs continued. During the last week of August, Resident Only Parking signs went up north of Pennsylvania Avenue, as shown on the above map.

“What I don’t understand is why it was not immediately corrected,” Oldenburg told CHC, “I talked to Jeff Marootian, Director of DDOT, yesterday, and told him to please figure out how to fix it. He said he would look into it. I’m ready to take a ladder and screwdriver and take down the signs myself. If I had it to do again it would be easier to do key blocks rather than the entire single member district. Constituents and ANC commissioners are frustrated over the process – it took a year and a half, and it’s been a lot of work.”

Neighbors can call the main DDOT number (202) 673-6813 to express concern, which might help speed the process. Residents who have not done so can receive an annual visitor’s parking pass for guests as a temporary fix. See here: https://ddot.dc.gov/page/visitor-parking-pass-program

Two New Child Oriented Retail Outlets Coming to 600 Block of Pennsylvania Avenue

by Larry Janezich

Two new child oriented retail outlets are coming to the 600 block of Pennsylvania Avenue, SE, this fall.  The former Mattress Firm at 625 Pennsylvania is scheduled to reopen as a children’s play and clothing outlet. Details are fuzzy, but what comes to mind is something like Skill Zone on Barracks Row with a retail clothing component.  A name and more information will be available by the end of September.

Also, Bourbon Coffee at 621 Pennsylvania is gone and Mathnasium – an internationally franchised math tutoring company – has taken over the space as of September 1.  The company will offer its proprietary Mathnasium Method, which their website says encompasses a complete curriculum from pre-kindergarten to 12th grade math and delivers a customized learning plan designed to address each student’s needs.  According to management, Mathnasium will open in November.  More info here:  https://www.mathnasium.com/capitolhilldc

CM Allen Urges Collective Action to Address Recent Hill East Shootings.

by Larry Janezich

Last night, CM Charles Allen told a community meeting on the August 28 double shooting in the 1400 block of A Street, SE, “We can’t think of this as only a police issue,” and urged that the community pull together in a collective effort to find meaningful solutions to violence in the neighborhood.  One of the victims was Robert Chandler* (see below), a community activist, who was seriously wounded but is recovering and expected to be discharged from the hospital next week.  The other victim was shot in the calf and was released from the hospital after being treated.  Some 70 neighbors attended the meeting which was held at the Community Action Group Headquarters at 124 15^th Street, SE, and organized by ANC6B Chair Chander Jayaraman.

Commander Morgan Kane of the MPD’s First District said police had minimal information on the shootings.  So far, she said, the investigation has revealed that a “mixed group was hanging out when two individuals walked up – something was said – and there was gunfire.”  There were two guns involved and six shell casings were recovered.  “We don’t have a lot of information on who the shooters were,” she added.

Allen, who lives about five blocks away, pointed to actions he had taken in the immediate aftermath:  DOT has changed lighting in an effort to create a safer space and he has received a commitment from the Office of Neighborhood Safety and Engagement to insert violence interrupters into the neighborhood.  In addition, he is supporting Jayaraman’s efforts to promote community engagement through social events.  He stressed the need for residents to engage and get to know the police officers patrolling their streets.

One of the problems which appear to have defied enforcement attempts is the presence in the neighborhood of outsiders who deal drugs.  Residents complained that they see a familiar pattern of narcotic unit arrests followed by displacement of the problem to a few blocks away.  Often, violence is associated with illegal activity and meetings such as Wednesday night’s meeting results in a temporary increase in MPD activity.  Kane explained that she has to deploy resources in a balanced way throughout the First District and urged residents to take advantage of the Mayor’s Private Security Camera Rebate Program, saying “If we can’t prevent crimes, we need the tools to bring justice to victims and victim’s families.”  She said the First District Crime Suppression Unit would follow up on the work of the narcotics unit in the 14th Street hot spot.

ANC6B Commissioner Denise Krepp, a frequent critic of the US Attorney’s office failure to prosecute, pointed to a list of about 100 Hill East crimes since 2016 which she had compiled.  Of those, only five or six had been prosecuted, and when she asked why cases had not been perused, she said, the response was, “We can’t tell you.”  She urged attendees to work together and individually to hold the US Attorney’s office accountable.

Allen said that “Meetings like this keep the momentum going and allow us to move forward.  MPD is a great partner, but we need a holistic approach and we can’t just look at enforcement.  We have to look at why there’s a problem.  Is it resources?  Employment?  This is your neighborhood and we have to decide what we want the steps forward to be … we can’t have a top down approach.”

The councilmember also urged being careful about the “us vs. them” sentiments evident in some of the concerns raised, referring to different viewpoints expressed by life-long residents and those who are more recent arrivals.  Some attendees in the diverse group cited personal experiences illustrating problems relating to police officers while others felt police were not being diligent enough in addressing quality of life issues in the neighborhood.  Community activist Maurice Cook stressed that police resources are distributed unequally, and other parts of the city are “ten times worse.”  He said that police don’t protect all residents the same and much depends on how you prioritize your own well-being.

Kane said that many times police are put in the middle of what should be a community conversation:  “We try to focus on robbery, guns, and shootings.”  She urged the community to increase communication with the police and said she would emphasize to her officers the need to engage the residents of the neighborhood on a personal level.

In the interests of furthering community engagement, Jayaraman announced that he was sponsoring a block party at 14^th and A Streets, SE, on September 29.
