On July 13, dozens of angry district residents filled the ANC 2A meeting to express outrage at the recent abuse of emergency legislation at the hands of council member Jack Evans. In a sweetheart deal at the 11th hour, Evans gave away the West End Library, Fire Station and Police Station (some residents could care less about the police...but care about the land it stands on) to developer Eastbanc, also known as the "King of Georgetown."

Outraged residents came to the hearing to put Evans in his place. As Evans tried to spew his lies, the people were on hand to correct him.

Eastbanc, the developer who got the DC Council to pass emergency legislation selling West End library to them got protested and laughed out of a public hearing at West End Library.

Eastbanc had the nerve to show up at a normal meeting of the Friends of the West End Library-to tell them the sale of the property would BENEFIT THEM!
