@kevintipanoswal @VirginiaABC Pretty accurate. Can't argue with that.

Clarendon Tonight: An unconscious woman reported by police in the bathroom of Don Tito. EMS called and eventually canceled when she awakened.

@VirginiaABC, what will it take to get you to start recognizing a pattern and take some action? Just ask Arlington County for the stats on EMS runs for each of the bars. Then compare those numbers to any other bar or group of bars in Arlington, the Commonwealth, or the region and tell us your conclusion. #clarendon #arlingtonva #virginia

A new report from DC Auditor Kathy Patterson shows public safety agencies spent ~$220 million(!) on overtime last year.

But she also found leave, not staffing, accounted for a lot of that. And she said agencies are paying "exorbitant amounts" of OT to a small # of employees.
