Adrian Fenty

A major step toward legalizing same-sex marriage here in the nation's capital today: D.C. mayor Adrian Fenty signed a bill to that affect, passed by the city council Tuesday.

If it's not broken, don't fix it.

We have a crisis on our hands, and I am asking today for that responsibility of education reform to be placed squarely on my shoulders.

I cannot understand why anyone would eliminate a program, especially when it is not costing the schools or the local District government a dime.

What better measure of success than the desire of parents, the desire of citizens, citizens of the District, to continue the program?

I think my real sense of pride is to say that I had some small role to create a program where Ronald and Tiffany could sit here today and talk to you about their successful dreams and ambitions.

Today's decision flies in the face of laws that have helped decrease gun violence in the District of Columbia.
