Mayor Fenty's greatest achievement / decision while in office
What is, in your opinion, the mayor's greatest achievement and/or decision while in office?

Mayor Fenty's worst mistake / decision while in office
What is, in your opinion, the mayor's worst mistake and/or decision while in office?

RESULTS FOR ADRIAN FENTY:
Best decisions during time in office:
• His leadership in attempting to create a rational response to the Supreme Court decision overturning DC's gun control law. I am a forty plus year resident of DC and have seen the city through good times and bad. I had high hopes for Adrian Fenty as Mayor but am deeply disappointed and can think of almost nothing else he has done that represents a significant achievment for the city.

Worst decisions during time in office:
• His worst mistake is leading with a dictatorial, top down approach to almost all decisions. He seems convinced that he and his very small coterie of advisors and city officials have no responsibility to make themselves available for dialogue with the citizens of DC. Indeed, he seems intolerant of those who disagree with him, indifferent to the concerns of citizens or officials who bring unwelcome complexity to discussions and he appears to view any attempts at holding his government accountable to DC taxpayers as interference in his divine right to rule. Most of my friends, neighbors and colleagues jokingly refer to our city government as "the tyranny of the left." The title is all the more telling because we are liberal democrats who are completely in sympathy with Fenty's stated goals for the city but find his methods and lack of respect for democratic process and consultation deplorable. While he may intend improvement in the city his methods are leading to yet another more insular group who regard this city as their personal business to be managed according to their own preferences and views.

Mayor Monitor (MM)
City Mayors introduces Mayor Monitor (MM), which allows residents and non-residents to rate the performance of mayors and highlight their ‘best’ and ‘worst’ decisions. Mayor Monitor uses the widely understood one-to-ten rating system, where '1' signifies an extremely poor performance and '10' ‘an outstanding one. In addition to rating mayors’ performances, citizens are invited to highlight the best and worst decisions by city leaders.

Over time, Mayor Monitor will provide a valuable track record of mayors’ successes and failures as well as their popularity among residents and a wider public. The results will be published on the City Mayors website and updated monthly. Full list of mayors
