Pinto’s big D.C. public safety plan is going to touch off a grand fight

Once again, reality is about to hit the city in the face when the mayor and council, and ultimately Congress, come to grips with the “Secure D.C.

To Pinto’s credit, her proposal takes a deep dive into virtually all aspects of the city’s justice system. And her plan is going to make waves.
