Music to the masses via Vincent Gray

Vincent Gray had an election day event that left everyone hot,tired but enthused about the possibilities of new blood on the horizon via Mayoral candidates. It seems as though we are the forgotten ones a lot of people said as he purposed to end a long list of ineffective policies that have left many citizens of Southeast DC out in the rain. There will be renewed progress here stated Mr. Gray just before any of his several constituents started their vocalizations and spiels concerning this hopefuls steps along the corridors of Washington DC. Vincent Gray is definitely a fixture in DC these days there are not many days left until the election revs up and voters take to the polls. Adrian Fenty our present mayor has lagged in one of the straw polls narrowly coming out in first place in his own precinct Ward 4 . A lot of voters have said that they feel lost and forgotten in SE, a place that seems as though the politicians have time and time again over looked as businesses and development take to the outskirts of land that ranges around the Anacostia River and borders by the Potomac River too. The National Harbor w/ Gaylords Hotel and the Nationals Stadium are but two business ventures and accomplishments that bought jobs to the recesses of SE. The public subway transportation goes to only two stops.. subway that is Southern Ave, Station and Green Line at Anacostia. That's it! and the temporary stoppage of the transfer situation hasn't helped Washingtonians when a lot of them need at least two buses to get them home and to work. there were quite a few issues on the floor this weekend as Vincent Grey took the podium and said his not so practiced speech and shook hands and recognized many of the issues that should have been addressed by the last administration. Then the fact of the matter seems as though everyone is pushed over here as a separation move away from the more affluent white families across the tracks and it feels as such whether it really is that way or not. It reeks of a Southern racial movie albeit the fictional plantation overseers and bosses As it seems they saw the issues of a elite few and then what ever was left trickled down to the masses,those being the people of SE. As the last trickle of people left the enormous park after dancing,go-go and enjoying the band and speakers there were those that left with these last remarks 'I guess we will see what he does hopefully he will be better than the last and that is a shame considering they all are politicians but who will do the most for the other side of DC 'The predominately Black Side"?
