Our response to Washington Post columnist Colby King

King that the District’s fiscal health should be the top priority of city leaders, candidates for political office, and voters heading to polls Sept. 14. Where we part with Mr. King is that we believe now is the time to invest in our city and our neighbors to have the most vibrant recovery possible from this devastating recession.
