Up and Running in D.C.

The Washington Post offers a mostly favorable look at D.C. Mayor Adrian Fenty's first four months in office. The mayor, they report, has been quick to take charge of both long-term problems (taking control of the city's public schools) and breaking situations (pledging millions of dollars just hours after a fire devastated Eastern Market). While they criticize him in passing (and in their headline) for stepping on toes, the article portrays a man who gets things done, in a city where too often nothing is.
