Recall the mayor

A wall plastered with pictures of D.C. Mayor Anthony Williams. Apparently, some people don't like him too much, at least not as mayor. On their top five reasons to recall the mayor they claim he's dropped the ball on health care, education, homelessness, public safety, and democracy. It all sounds pretty bad, and I'm sure it is. Local politics is strange since D.C. is neither a city nor a state, but some strange mix of both, and Congress controls all the purse strings. The city could certainly do more in all the areas this group mentions, but I'm not sure how much control the mayor has over any of it.
