Here are some remarks about Dr. Omer!

August 15, 2001: Dr. Abdusalam Omer, PhD, recently retired Chief of Staff to the Mayor of the District of Columbia.

It is with great pleasure that NARPAC recognizes Abdusalam Omer, PhD for his extraordinary efforts to restore pride in America's capital city.
For nine years, Dr. Omer has held increasingly important roles in shaping the future of the District of Columbia. First as a senior budget analyst and team leader, then as Chief Financial Officer for the troubled DC Public Schools, then for two years as Deputy Chief Finance Officer, restructuring and balancing DC's runaway budget. Finally, for two grueling years as Chief of Staff, he faced the bureaucracy inside, and endless claimants on DC energies from the outside: Congress; Federal Agencies; City Council; Control Board; and activists.
A key member of DC's dedicated band of reformers, Dr. Omer brought competence, compassion, and high standards to all his tasks. He understood government's obligation to listen to, and serve the people of the city -- starting with its young and disadvantaged. He saw government as people too, with needs, hopes and goals. He was mentor, catalyst, devil's advocate, task master. His friend, the Mayor, has praised his passion and integrity. Dr. Omer deserves the gratitude of the people of DC, the Greater Washington Metro Area, and all across America who want to be proud of their nation's capital city.
Thank you, Dr. Omer, and Godspeed in your future endeavors.

The brief rave review of his dedication to his professional work, does not mention his marital status. Should we assume, the phd holding Doctor has no wife and children? Then, should we also assume he is part of the high population number of down low black homosexual in DC???? (which incidentally, has the highest HIV rates, next to Atlanta, which, yeah, incidentally also holds high black population. lol)
