Brianne Nadeau

But what is the argument for, like, adding this capacity? So basically, if you're in a neighborhood with a business improvement district, the business improvement district can say, "We're gonna spend some of our own money to hire people to write tickets because, like, our businesses are saying no one comes because they can't park."

The argument, I, I spoke with Council Member Nadeau, who's championed this bill, uh, and authored it, and she said, uh, she was hearing from people that there was no mechanism to get more parking help.

But why did they need more parking help?

help?Uh, because people are double parked, uh, and it is messing with people's flow in and out of their businesses, you know, whether that's delivery for those businesses or not.

And I think that's what we're looking at here, is there's a system to be played, uh, and people are playing it.

So what about now? Is the-- I mean, the knives seem to be out for, uh, members of the Office of Campaign Finance for their general counsel.

Um, their-- Brianne Nadeau is a, a ally of Janise Lewis George, has, uh, I believe, filed a bill to do some sort of reform.

What realistically is being considered so that a, uh, candidate may be protected from this?

And then later, after there were a lot of protests and apparently an organized boycott against DoorDash, has now apologized for siding with that GOP bill targeting D.C. DoorDash

didn't like a proposal, I think it was Brianne Nadeau, the Ward 1 council member, to put a 20-cent delivery fee on DoorDash deliveries.

And DoorDash officials went up to Congress to try to get that stopped.

And, of course, that infuriated people in the local government, perhaps the chairman, too, because the city has little enough power to operate.
