I think enough. We have cut budgets as much as we reasonably can. Washington must remain a beautiful world capital. It is a beautiful world capital, but there are a couple of things I would like to ask a question of the chairman about, to see if we could change. That is, driving around town yesterday, I found numerous stoplights never replaced, crossing walk lights never replaced, potholes never filled. I think that is the impression every single visitor to Washington gets. If we are going to put in this Federal contribution, can we at least get the District Department of Public Works to do something about simple matters like that, that do affect life and death?
