Stop! It's an election. We are all allowed our opinion and people feel strongly that he's a terrible candidate who did nothing for his constituents and will continue to do nothing. Worse, he makes terrible decisions! |
Karl loves attention, as long as it’s just fawning support from his base of LBGTQ donors like Mary Trump. If it’s criticism of his poor decisions, that’s “obsessive.” |
|
If people aren’t “obsessive” about things like Karl Frisch wasting tens of millions on a school that isn’t needed, we’ll just keep electing more bad candidates wasting money on equally stupid projects.
If the new School Board has any sense they’ll take a fresh look at Dunn Loring once in office and cancel it. |

You're so dull!!!!!!! If you care so much about him, please list positive attributes we should know about. |
He is getting a new school built |
Too bad it’s completely unnecessary and surrounded by below capacity schools. Not sure which is the bigger white elephant - Dunn Loring ES or Frisch himself. |
Where would you prefer the school be built? |
Your question presupposes that a new ES needs to be built. If you look at FCPS enrollments, the capacity issue is most acute in some HS. There are a handful of overcrowded ES and that overcrowding can be readily addressed through boundary adjustments. If they were hellbent on building an ES, both Pimmit Hills and Tysons - where FCPS has sites - would have made far more sense. There is very little residential growth projected now in the area near the Dunn Loring site and it’s surrounded by multiple under-enrolled ES. There’s no need for a school there and its construction is completely at odds with the basic principles that have governed the construction of new FCPS schools in the past. Frisch ignored all this because he just wanted to make sure the money previously earmarked for a school in the “Fairfax/Oakton” area was NOT available for a school at Blake Lane. He is a jerk, enabled by brain-dead colleagues who are all from the same political party and who scratch each other’s back when instead they should be raising their voices. |
We passed the bond money to build a new school. To not build a new school would be going against the wishes of the voters. |
That’s BS. If you really believed this, you’d also say the bond directive was to build a new ES in the “Fairfax/Oakton” area, not in the “Dunn Loring/Vienna” area. The voters want to provide FCPS with funding to make sensible capital investments, not to provide Karl Frisch with his own pot of money to reallocate as he sees fit, and regardless of the need or merits. |
The people of Fairfax/Oakton made quite clear they were opposed to the school being built at that location. |
That’s also BS, but it’s also besides the point since you were arguing the specific school described in the bond document had to be built. Why are you such a disingenuous POS? |
