Yep, it's time to defund CSC even if it's just to get rid of Berry. Bet the reason she stays around so long is because her relative (maybe hubby--Marion Berry) keeps staying in politics.
Sorry, Lilly. You've confused your Berries and Barries. Mary Frances Berry is the former head of the CRC. She has left the Commission and has, I believe, gone back to the University of Pennsylvania, which should be embarrassed that she is on their faculty. Marion Barry, former DC Mayor and Cultural Icon, is now a DC Council Member. The two are unrelated by blood or marriage, though they do share a willingness to characterize all issues and racial and demagogue those issues shamelessly.
