Been there, done that. Nadeau only cares about expanding affordable housing. She has truly shown a lack of leadership on violent crime in Columbia Heights. We are tired of community meetings, we want results. We want to see a strategy that leads to arrests. How about some legislation making it easier to arrest people or the creation of a special criminal/gang task force for Wards 1 & 4. Do something, please!
