Mayor's Security is Back

For about a week and a half DC Mayor Adrian Fenty was driving himself around town and arriving late to some appointments while he searched for legal parking, just like the rest of us.


On Monday, he was back in the saddle with a full complement of Metropolitan police officers surrounding him. It's unclear, whether the decision is his or Police Chief Cathy Lanier's who is ultimately responsible for the Mayor's safety.



Schools opened yesterday and Fenty had a number of locations to inspect along with Chancellor Michelle Rhee, as they are now in charge of what works and what doesn't...Their own assessment is that for the most part "things went smoothly", although Ballou High lacked air conditioning in some places; and Ballou wasn't alone Plaster came tumbling down in a girl's bathroom at Duke Ellington School for the Arts..



The Mayor has no public schedule for Tuesday so we can't follow him around to see if he's traveling solo or with DC Police.
