It has been a little while since we dropped in on the Nation's capital to see how the races are going. We've got some new candidates, one candidate changed races, and of course, there is some good old fashioned campaign attacks. So let's have at it! In the most recent news, Mayor Fenty is facing some difficulties over a contract with the Peaceoholics. Who are the Peaceoholics: The Peaceoholics, Inc. is a 501 (c) 3 non-profit organization based in Washington, DC. The organization is committed to the advancement of disadvantaged youth and their families throughout the country. Through the various activities of Peaceoholics, youth are being transformed into drug-free and crime-free, productive members of society.Sounds great, right? So what is the controversy here? There may be a non-bid contract involved. Although, no one seems to be sure about that.

originally posted on 6/01/2010 Earlier today, the City Council for the District of Columbia voted to let DC residents decide on a possibly change in the way it chooses the Attorney General, according to WTOP. Currently, the Mayor selects the AG for the state. In November, DC residents will vote on whether or not the AG seat should be on the ballot. The majority of states choose their Attorneys General by vote, with only nine states and the District appointing the AG (14 if you include American Samoa, Northern Mariana Islands, Puerto Rico, and the Virgin Islands).
