Don’t expect DC Attorney General Peter Nickles to engage in a Listening Tour should Mayor Adrian Fenty win a second term.

Nickles tells TBD he’ll continue the hard-charging style that has won him both praise and criticism. On “NewsTalk” Monday, Nickles was asked about the Mayor’s recent pledge to be more collaborative and about a recent website editorial accusing him of acting like “a despot.”

Part of his response is excerpted here:

Nickles did say that citizens who feel they’ve been ripped off – or can’t get the attention of other elected officials – to contact the Office of the Attorney General directly. “Call us!,” he said, looking directly into the camera for emphasis.

The Washington Post’s take on the exchange is here:  voices.washingtonpost.com/debonis/2010/08/as_fenty_softens_peter_nickles.html 

Part 1 of our interview with Nickles re-airs Monday at 4pm, 6pm and 9:30pm.
