Today, Tuesday, July 10, at the Committee of the Whole Meeting of the DC City Council, City Council Members Jack Evans (Ward 2) and Kwame Brown (At-Large) will push emergency legislation to sell the West End Library and Special Operations Division properties in the West End neighborhood. In addition to being a blatant misuse of "emergency legislation", Mr. Evans and Mr. Brown want to sell, without any public input, a library to the notorious developer Anthony Lanier, of Eastbanc (affectionately known as the 'King of Georgetown'). Lanier has sought to buy much of the property, successfully, in the area of Square 37 in the West End Neighborhood.
