Corresponding and the Question of the Week!

Imagine you are the Mayor. How many pieces of mail, faxes or emails do you think you would receive on a daily basis? Too many to count really. When I started working in the EOM it was for the Mayor's Correspondence Unit. It was an interesting job, because you read first hand what the citizens of the District need and what they approve or disapprove of. So it should come to no surprise that the MCU has been on top of responding to the Question of the Week and all other solicitations that have been coming from MayorFentysInterns.Blogspot.Com.

The MCU, ran away from the competition with their responses to last week's Question of the week, which asked for a new D.C. motto. A few of their ideas included:

“Washington DC, a city with integrity”
“Washington DC, a chance of a life time”
“Come, enjoy, and be fascinated”
“Social harmony, economic development, Innovative political atmosphere is our forte”

Senay Gebremendhi submitted, "DC, the head of a giant"

But the winner has to go to the MCU for, “We represent ourselves,” which is a nice play on the "Taxation without Representation" which is found on our license plates. Which must be nice for MCU intern Ryon who just recently took the test and is hoping to join FEMS soon.

Now its time for this week's Question of the Week. When D.C. had submitted to Congress a Constitution for statehood, what was the name of the State going to be? I, for one,am not a big fan of that name, so I am also asking for your ideas on what name should D.C. take when it becomes a state?
