The 2 million bikers need to apply for a permit for 2014 NOW. Once they get it, it will be interesting to see if any other permits are issued to anyone else, afterward.
Some one should find out WHO pay their salaries (those granting permits for the use of our National Mall).
If they draw paychecks from the federal government (not the local DC municipals), they are our (taxpayers’) servants.
This kind of Epic Fail should have consequences, but in this day and age, nothing will happen.
