DC Government: What Snow?

While Federal offices and suburban schools will open two hours late today, DC Schools and government started on time. How do we know? The Mayor and School Chancellor proclaimed it.

The thousands of DC workers and students you saw stranded in snowbanks, huddled at bus stops, stuck in traffic, and crushed together on subway platforms are obviously products of your imagination. Many District Government employees live in “Ward 9,” suburban Prince Georges County, and can’t stroll in to work.
