to do it to uh... to unit
victory europe the trial's your trials have been
well doc well-documented what foxtrot don't understand a lot of people don't
understand because of sts the complicity of some of those trials is that
for several years you word for and just to be one of the best maze
in in the in
to ever in the country lit the has to you
as i'm as tony and as i max sharon pratt
what was what was your what has been your
highlight the single
if you have to
pick one
the single
highlight moment of your political career
that to look at the too
uh... one is summer job program
over a hundred thousand young people
through sunday that's right down through the summer job program and at the house
in sixteen years that's a lot of people
if you have to abdomen in a pack of this error young william askin about black
businesses within three percent
two forty seven percent
if i depict any of those uh... too that i would be
and be in situ in fact uh... elaine korry when he was a preceded you rashad

primitive biljana four watsonville not to come out of the secret government
workers
may contribute in a fat that none of them ballard and i would be this is a a
bag witnesses in in pretoria kennesaw that too
that would pick
i let him go back to research
percent
duke took over
the county seat
in
when the county
was going for me
ferried rough period
with what
was the
uh... the downfall
objectives
uh... some people questioned your wheels the mini vans and with that but that
they're running for the exhibit
at that office
as a political figure
what was it that draw
if you want your
what was it a troll view
to move into that pressure cooker
of e oven
office
almost the driving force behind probably like uh... everyone else he talked of
his more and i realize what a pressure cooker was before to get over especially
hard line on iraq
but no you know uh... armed and says uh... instead as mayor said that uh...
is summer job for me is is uh...
his program that helps of minority businesses of compete and contribute
arm i had a chance as a delegate to watch the work
uh... i came into to politics when
wayne first took over his county executive
arm and i think
we all saw the great potential the prince george's county had to be a
contributing part of this washington region
and i looked at the foundation of the work that wing was doing and what i
think that drove me to leave the house of delegates and a run for county
executive was
i wanted to build upon that
no one administration is going to is going to carry it all the way through
there's gotta be a succession uh... you saw that in d_c_ certainly saw that and
alanna
and i wanted to be part of it
unfortunately i didn't win when iran
and i've felt
you know after
baby years the johnson administration i really felt that there was a chance for
us to build
uh...
in an expanded serious so
uh... that bed led me to run uh... now having said that when i took over the
offer that to get over at a time where mister nobody would like to come in
office this way and that is you literally had to get rid of every
institutional knowledge you had in government
because at the time that i took over there was an ongoing uh... right now the
house our car yet less diplomatic but he had them in their every bevery body was
ten friends are going to be with ongoing f_b_i_ investigation is so you couldn't
keep anyone could you know where was going
armed
would force me to do and i think help the administration was and then we we
did get some criticism for a lot of resistance quite honestly
is we had to do they compete for alarm
uh... present on bomb was booking it as you go back to you
the last democratic administration or you go back to the last time in this
region
which had a government debt was run without question
if you notice a lot of people we put in as acting doing it for six months
had served in the curry administration
an armed
you know i got a lot of criticism for not bringing in new people but what i
said was
we need to stabilize the government
i couldn't be afraid i think this is what mere waves with say stain on the
mir near
we're very was saying is that he'd get a have
you know political courage
you got to be willing to stand that when people or
criticizing you do the right thing to move the government fort informing the
he was picking good smart individuals in convincing them that comment and work
for prince george's county
and letting them know that we could be economic engine of this region that we
could build upon and have the good relationship with not only maryland but
with the district and with norton virginia
but those were two things i did stay up a lot that their first year in and lost
all my hair and it all turned gray but if there is a start look like they work
it out let me ask you to fly go back to sharon tony and and and marion
do you often do you feel in prince georges county
it's youth
you have a call reese
of washington d_c_ gaining statement yes anne of fermin and i can just answer
personally i
support statehood for the district of columbia
uh... i've gotta work great working relationship with uh...
with me a great
in fact you know i i said our folks all the time i think this is something that
that wayne understood certainly
you know we're right next to rome when we talk about building yes about
national harbor and and uh... and can m_g_m_ way favorite thing is that weird
right next to rome rome is the district of columbia
everone fall down and we all felt that way
artful we can solve a lot of our problems unless we working hand-in-hand
with the district and so
now working hand-in-hand with the district
we've kept things pretty pleasant less i think that what you are ordered in the
last three years
what's going on on out here
hang one stop the walmart is her home
some bad and hamburg
the somebody say
art that there may be the possibility that that the stadium out there
routes are
arm might be
coming back
to the district so
out of it and that's a bit of a tug of war
uh... you know i guess they have no knowledge of what it is uh... wonderful
i i wondered if they were twenty acre look at our overnight this is all right
well to do it if you have a dealmaker i'm sure that there are many things that
are university
belong in washington and on boats that belong in prison reason skeletons of
you know i think we talk about what's going in and out of the sea in federal
agency relocations of that sort of thing there may be other uh... things that
would look good in prince georges county print create more jobs and opportunity
give us a chance to be a part of what goes on in the city for the while we
create some jobs in prince georges so to me it's an exciting moment just a few
people rumor that kind of thing goes was ok oh against jack rabbit hole hurt
often heard you've been can't disagree
letter wallman straighten it out
sharon
what's your thoughts about that
well i don't know what like what they are regarding router stadium in
particular but what i do feel
every begin to battled for a very good about preparation or create
washington d_c_ and prince george's as
a much more of a paper ticket partnership around economic growth
you know the washington has a lot of cancer
and pretty character has a lot of enterprise got a lot of life
and i think that
we would be remiss if we didn't
began to work in partnership with each other
more often than we do not
uh... around expanding those economic opportunity event someway building upon
cover the initiatives uh... advanstar
uh... but in previous years uh... marion you thirty did it with the minority
businesses sony debuted in diversifying our businesses
uh... i think what we need to be more strategic and that partnership and each
other on in that regard
being forced you to the following unions are address that
married had vetoing clinton's
that review
escape
weird hi robbie robertson
it it'd get defined erisa marietta aakash entertainment industry well maybe
some mississippi so pat with made in the heart to heart
uh...
that korea's in the year
down the street injured t right tried to hide it jia team
because of the tennessee mr
if tony so fundamental so he did that
and uh... but back to the other questions think this is a_b_c_ absolute
estatehood but just back to stay diablo saying i was you know for statehood at
that gun okay but we will talk about that today we will
and uh... but mostly moroccan city willis flow with the state you don't
pressure and noting get all of us to get me in the same katha iraq iran brought
officer you're going there is money to send baby give me the donor
reinstitution afghani
uh... own hone in on the phone
promise you
i didn't want to risk usually venting it's you know that
that ag tractors of disclosing didn't jack and coke to stay here
part of what happened he won meaning in the citizens
to pay for the stadium
and the infrastructure
that would bring them into orbit them too much as we pay for infrastructure
it pay for the uh...
leaving for the stadium and he's a sunny piece in japan again
and uh... which prince george's objective is to have been
hoping and wishing raymond but sharon
everything he had been snyder
to come back to you but i don't think that's what the invading your future
because economics will work with the he still has contracts with the statement
county
and uh...
you know i uh... i'm risking support i have just jumped up and down
decade's sudden l_s_d_ hearing in august
uh... i predicted that to risk in with our g_-three we go to directed fail baby
you know we've been reading go to reverse the weight to uh... payoff and
one
emanating out of the game is worthwhile
