A wonderful scene.
George Washington University honors our new Mayor at last night’s men’s basketball game. Read this story. Amazing!
A great man. A great message.
We are fortunate that our Mayor is a fan of all things related to athletics and youth.
He understands the higher calling represented in competition.
Sports helped make our Mayor the man that he is today.
Mayor Gray has been very enthusiastic in support of all our teams and he is the driving force behind several high school basketball tournaments in the city. He rocks on the softball fields as well, I hear.
And he and I had a wonderful moment once at a Washington Mystics game where we both had the opportunity to sit at center court with President Obama.
We are all looking forward to working with him and his staff.
The Mayor understands the double bottom line nature of athletics.
Let us all work together with our new Mayor to help make Washington DC the greatest city on earth. Ladies and gentleman, our new Mayor…Mr. Vincent Gray.
Mayor Gray has been enthusiastic in support of all of D.C.’s teams, yet he seems perfectly content to sit idly by and watch D.C. United move to Baltimore.
I’d be interested to hear your opinion of the outcome of the DC Mayoral election and its implications. It seems that we’re already seeing return to cronyism starting with the head of Mayor Gray’s transition team and chef fundraiser. Most recently, his appointment of his new fire chef. Additionally, his comments about making sure the Teachers Union has a seat at the table when a new School Chancellor is appointed is very concerning.
As an elected official myself, I know how hard it is to get to the bottom of perception vs reality. Mayor Grey may be doing a great job, he may not be. It’s good to know he supports competition, let’s hope that means the best, most hard working people, are appointed to positions in his administration.
Thanks so much for all you do for the city Ted, you’re a class act.
