Mayor Adrian Fenty‘s biggest supporter, Ron Moten, has ended his campaign of silence against City Paper. (Moten said he was boycotting CP because of this story.)

He tells colleague Rend Smith over at City Desk that cuts in funding to his anti-youth-violence group, Peaceoholics, could spell disaster for the city. Go take a look, but remember that one of Almost Mayor Vince Gray’s most popular lines at the recent Ward 5 town hall meeting was that he wouldn’t steer funding toward Moten’s group.
