No Tanzania Trip For Barry

Marion Barry was in still in town doing council business today, even though he told us last week he was headed to Tanzania for a leadership conference. When asked by the Post why he didn't go, Barry said only that there was some "emergency council business" that he did not want to miss. Barry had said last week that he wanted to introduce the soccer stadium legislation tomorrow, but Council Chairman Vincent Gray did not mention soccer during his briefing to reporters this morning about the legislative agenda.
