The location thing isn't over, it's just on the back burner until Reed is actually in process and getting ready to open.

Listening to the work session, Goldstein really wants to cancel Reed but doesn’t want to be the one to say it.

Reed is the only one with critical thinking skills.

But not the nerve to just say it instead of dancing around it. So far everyone else is rubber stamping Reed without discussion, if he wants to have the conversation he needs to start it.

Goldstein capitulated on Reed.

He thought he had to play nice for the next boundary redraw.
Now he realizes that nothing he does will ever matter.
He will not run again.

Oh, please. If he thinks Reed should be cancelled, he should say it. He’s a coward.

They need the Reed seats. Canceling would just continue the CF.

They also need high school seats that they don't have the money to build properly.

I know. But they haven't even started the planning. *sigh* They'd have the money if the county was willing to participate.

Given the cuts the county has made in their proposed CIP, I think it will be a hard sell to get them to give more money to APS. Maybe they'll give land for future projects, but I don't know that extra funding is in the works right now

The idea that they WOULDNT give the land is insane.
You can rent land outside of Arlington to park buses.

But then they have to incur lease expenses and limit their future options. It's not a given that the county will give APS land, especially not without something in return.

How about in return, we don’t storm their offices and meetings - making their lives a living hell.
