Friends and neighbors,
I wanted to take the time to thank each and every one of you for making this an amazing first year in office. I hope all of you have had a great holiday season as the new year (and first ANC meeting of 2016) approaches. Thank you for your passion and commitment to making our slice of the District a truly liveable, walkable, and even greater place to live.
Commissioner Deleon’s Moratorium Resolution Unanimously Approved by ANC 5C:
At ANC 5C’s December meeting, Commissioner Deleon’s Resolution for a Moratorium was approved unanimously. This is a huge step forward in making 5C02 more liveable and walkable by requesting an ABRA moratorium on ALL Class C liquor licenses for the next five years. More information on what the moratorium means for you here.
Commissioner Deleon speaks at Hope Charter School:
I was delighted to chat with students at Hope Community Charter School about high school & college life.
