Don't be fooled by protests and arrests, they do nothing to help the District.
“Finally got home at 4:45. Nobody knows the troubles I’ve seen…” so tweeted DC Council member Tommy Wells following his arrest at the budget protest on Capitol Hill. It’s a bit of a stretch, to say the least, for Wells to evoke one the most famous negro spirituals of all time, yet many were fooled by the show that played out on Monday.
