City Officials should not Accept Lobbyist Overtures
There is NOT place in the government for lobbyist activities. Lobbyist courting DC officials, especially in areas that are underrepresented, should not be the norm. There is no real need for affordable housing lobbyist to court DC officials when the landlord/tenant arena is being eroded by the industry. Already there is a separate court for housing providers. This is sick and disgusting. If you are hiring the best of the best, there would be no need to have discussions with lobbyist. DC cannot justify the salaries its paying to city employees because the employees for the most part are NOT the best of the best.
