@DemolishSEblvd @Janeese4DC @kenyanmcduffie Yes. If we’re serious about Vision Zero, we need real accountability for dangerous driving. Too often, out-of-state drivers speed through our streets knowing it’s harder to enforce consequences across state lines. That loophole needs to close.

@haydengise This is the worst tweet of the day. 🙄

[Brian Redder @BrianRedder]

@BarredinDC @DDOTDC What are you talking about? How is it pathetic? It’s a statement, but I’m sure nothing they ever do will ever be enough. 🙄

[Brian Redder @BrianRedder]

@Janeese4DC This is not the post you should be reposting as it’s been shown to be a blatant lie. Maybe the one about this being NPS land and local govt trying very hard to keep the lane would have been more honest.

[Brian Redder @BrianRedder]

@BarredinDC Why would you keep the original tweet up to mislead people when you discovered it was wrong? That’s irresponsible.

Kody’s account was hacked: they changed the password and did multiple factor auth, emailed him to say the account will be sold if he doesn’t buy it, and is sending links through DM to hack other accounts. Guess what @X is doing to help? NOTHING. They don’t care about their users.

@delilah1378510 @MayorBowser Ok then look at a map instead and you’ll see it’s true.

[Brian Redder @BrianRedder]

@TheShad13581754 @MayorBowser @NFTC_News Um, truth.

[Brian Redder @BrianRedder]

@Maxsmom1224 @MayorBowser You don’t have to believe them, look at a map…

[Brian Redder @BrianRedder]

@EmilySeal6 @MayorBowser It actually is not affected. Scientifically, a downstream break doesn’t affect the upstream intake…

@ankitjaindc I was only referring to the last sentence. Congress could pass a law to change DC Water's budget/authority, but extremely unlikely with a 60 vote threshold (beyond disapproval period). If Congress disapproves of the budget, DC Government cannot force changes to DC Water's budget.

[Brian Redder @BrianRedder]

@ankitjaindc That’s an incorrect understanding. I get it’s easy to connect DC Water and DC Government, but in reality, the only impact that DC Government has is the few Board seats they control. Congress does not have oversight over their budget the same way they do over DC Government.

[Brian Redder @BrianRedder]

@ankitjaindc Congress has little effect on DC Water. They are an independent authority. It seems you are confusing federal and local government control over them? That’s incorrect.

[Brian Redder @BrianRedder]

@ankitjaindc DC Water is an independent authority, are you saying the district is going to give them money?

[Brian Redder @BrianRedder]

@FordJohnathan5 @TheMaineWonk @GovWesMoore DC Water is not the District government. It is its own entity. It is an independent authority, and has jurisdiction over that pipeline. Please stop spreading misinformation.

[Brian Redder @BrianRedder]

@FordJohnathan5 @TheMaineWonk @GovWesMoore The federal government is not responsible for the pipe, DC Water is.

[Brian Redder @BrianRedder]

@Deathofasource What is? The drinking water intake, owners and operated by the Army Corps of Engineer's, is above this spill. So, the drinking water is not at risk.

[Brian Redder @BrianRedder]

@StephenGardnerX Gov Moore has no authority over this pipeline…? This line is owned and operated by DC Water - a separate entity from DC government.

[Brian Redder @BrianRedder]

@Zuk_DC @dcwater No, it doesn’t.
