Fenty swearing in

From Examiner.com

Adrian M. Fenty took office Tuesday as mayor of the District of Columbia, even though his public inauguration ceremony was postponed because of former President Gerald R. Ford's funeral.

Fenty was sworn in at a private morning ceremony at D.C. Superior Court, spokeswoman Mafara Hobson confirmed. The federal law granting home rule to the city requires the mayor to officially take office by noon on Jan. 2.

A public swearing-in is scheduled for Wednesday, and an inaugural ball will be held Saturday night.

Fenty, a 36-year-old Democrat who previously served on the D.C. Council, was chosen overwhelmingly in the Nov. 7 election after beating longtime council Chairman Linda W. Cropp in September's Democratic primary.

Now to what I have to say...

the event was good, they did not get the turn out that was expected and I only saw 2 people sitting in the overflow area. The event started about 30-45min. behind schedule. Over all the WCC did a great job handling the event, I look forward in seeing what Saturday, 6 Jan. 2007 has in store for us. The Inaugural ball should be fun, I'll be here working and I'll see if I can get some pictures posted.
