Thanks for using my photo @DCPolicyCenter in The President’s proposed budget could increase air pollution and congestion in the District

Thanks for using my photo, DC Policy Center (@DCPolicyCenter), and beyond that for another great analysis. I am officially a fanperson.

And now CMAQ is threatened for elimination.

Speaking of congestion reduction, the photograph above was taken on an electricity generating sidewalk, which you can see below. DC, where the future is born every day.
