The D.C. Government at Your Service

The District Department of Public Works ran out of sandbags and stopped distributing them at 5 p.m. After handing out 7,000 bags in five hours, the agency announced that another shipment of 2,700 bags would be available in the morning on a “first-come, first-served basis.”

Residents are limited to five bags per household and must show identification.

  1. 5 bags? That's a great way to ruin whatever effect the remaining 2,700 would have had.

  4. I love the fact you gotta show ID, can't have the illegals getting 5 free bags of sand...it'd be a waste of taxpayer money.

  5. My above post should have been on the blog pertaining Lew's interview. That's what happens when you multitask on a smart phone.

  6. Looks like the DDPW can't sandbag the public anymore with stupid, wasteful efforts like this.
