Too Many DC Agencies to Count and Pay For

As you can see from my prior post, I have been spending time on the DC web site. While it is a good site for paying parking tickets, it also reveals the vastness of the DC government and what they are trying to accomplish, which far exceeds taxpayers's ability to pay for them.

This page shows all of the DC agencies. Why isn't any candidate proposing eliminating about half of them? Does DC really need an office on Asian and Pacific Islander Affairs? Just about every pressure group has an office and there are also vague offices like the Clean City Initiative. Go through the list and you can eliminate many agencies. Shouldn't we, as the people who fund these offices, be entitled to elected officials who care a whit about our money and close down unnecessary offices?
