From the Washington Post-Democrat:
Marion Barry (D-Ward 8) sent a letter to the president that threatens a “boycott [of] any and all Presidential Inaugural festivities, including the Presidential Parade,” unless federal officials “immediately” agree to reimburse the city.
“The citizens of the nation’s [capital], those very citizens who pay taxes and have no vote in the United States Congress, are once again being cheated and disrespected as American citizens by the highest office in this country,” Barry wrote. “The reviewing stand on the steps of the John Wilson Building will be empty . . . in protest of you, a President with empty promises.”
We can only hope.
