Seems like a step in the right direction! Do you guys think the four key areas “home improvement contractors, towing companies, auto repair shops, and used car lots” are the areas where consumer protection should be focused? What do you think of the site?
From an email:
“On Monday, we are launching a new Website – consumer.dc.gov – and really pushing consumer protection in four key areas – home improvement contractors, towing companies, auto repair shops and used car lots. We’ve shut down a ton of illegal used car lots in the past three months and are adding new areas to clean up. It’ll have a new data feeds, we’ll post all the bad actors, it has a Twitter aggregator, Facebook page, blogger room with special videos, badges, podcasts and other goodies all on .gov server. A ton of firsts for dc.gov there. Would love to hear some input and see what you and your readers think.
We are collecting stories, tips, complaints to feature and posted people’s stories in video form on the site, You Tube, Facebook, etc. The complaints we’ll research and see if we can help in anyway. If not, we want other people to share their stories and lessons learned, rather than just posting a top 10 “do not do this.””

Potomac Harmony is Back! Following a gap year of competing, then virtual rehearsals during the pandemic, followed by the well-earned retirement of our long-term director, a year of a director search, Potomac Harmony hit the regional contest stage in Concord, North Carolina in March for the first time since 2018! It was exhilarating, reaffirming, and rewarding!
The chorus hit all of its goals, the biggest of which was to have fun and sing our best on contest stage — we did both! Because we earned a score over 400 points, our new Director, Allison Lynskey, was awarded the Novice Director award, photo above. Additionally, one of our charter members, Jackie Bottash, was nominated for and honored with the Leadership Excellence award. It was a celebratory weekend!
What’s next? So much! We now look forward to upcoming performances, growing our membership, and expanding our musical product with new arrangements and an education component each week. It’s an exciting time to be part of this ever-growing ensemble!
