My Advisory Neighborhood Commission newsletters
In the fall of 2002, concerned about the domination of our
ANC (Advisory Neighborhood Commission) by people attempting to impose changes
on our neighborhood, with little respect for long-time residents, lower-income residents,
and ethnic minority residents, I ran for the office of commissioner of my district, 1D03.
Much to my surprise, every incumbent declined to run for re-election that year, and I
found myself elected without opposition to an entirely new ANC, with commissioners who happened to
have much more progressive and enlightened views than some of their predecessors.
In 2004, I ran for re-election, this time opposed by a resident who objected strenuously to my
positions. I prevailed, pretty handily, with 694 votes, 79% of the total in my
single-member district. In 2006, I ran again, this time with no opposition, given 452 votes
in this off-year election. I believe that I've earned a reputation for hard work
on the behalf of my constituents. In 2008 I was pleased to share a ballot with Barack
Obama. His name was on top, and mine at the very bottom, of course, but that was an honor, nonetheless!
And in that active presidential-election year, I was given 792 votes, versus 42 for unknown
"write-ins". I suppose the latter were for "anybody but Jack". Well, you can't get things
done without encountering opposition, and leaving some residents irritated. Then there were 206
non-votes, perhaps from residents who had no idea what the ANC was.
One of my services to this neighborhood is
a monthly newsletter, which I and a neighbor distribute by hand to over 700
residences. (I accept no ANC funds for this newsletter, paying
the entire cost, about $60 an issue, out of my own pocket.) I have long said
that no resident should have to attend our tedious monthly meetings to find out
what the ANC is doing. The newsletter tells my constituents what their ANC is
doing, and incorporates a fair amount of neighborhood news, as well.
Here are those newsletters, the most recent first.

no time to gain ANC endorsement of this testimony. I called for
(1) Rejection
of the proposal to increase RPP fees to $25, $50, and $100;
(2) Restoration
of the time limit on parking cars on our streets, to prevent the "warehousing"
of cars, a wasteful use of precious parking space; and

valuable new parking space to our neighborhood.
Here is that testimony.

in the evening, and needs a curbside parking spot, knows. The ANC approved a
position endorsing:
(1) Residential Permit Parking (RPP) zones defined by
ANC boundaries, not block-by-block;
(2) Reduction of the minimum parking
distance to an intersection from the current 40 feet to a more reasonable 25
feet;
(3) Provision for a limited number of daytime-only parking permits for
employees of Mount Pleasant businesses, schools, and institutions; and
