Sabio hasn’t wasted $60M in taxpayer money. |

…where Karl Frisch exaggerates and takes credit for the work of others? No thanks. The guy is an embarrassment. |

+1. And his opponent only had three issues on his website and none of them go into detail. |

Where does Tony Sabio want the school to be built instead? |

You would prefer a candidate that is willing to hand over an automatic riffle to a person at random. No background check, no mental health screening… |

Maybe Sabio would unwind the debacle at Dunn Loring since he wouldn't be as invested as Frisch in defending this giant waste of money. |

-1. He's a hero who defended American values and rescued a kid from a war-torn country. Frisch's idea of heroism, on the other hand, is preserving a dog park for Boston Terriers and Pomeranians to poop in. |

| Tony Sabio doesn't know the difference between "their" and "there." Do you really trust him with the education of your kids? |

Karl Frisch doesn't know the difference between "Fairfax/Oakton" and "Dunn Loring/Vienna." I certainly don't trust that slimy creep with making any decisions affecting education. |

That's bad but still doesn't tell us why we should vote for Frisch. |

Here's what Karl Frisch told his constituents zoned for McLean HS back in 2019:
Though it may take years to complete, we should begin scoping for a permanent addition/expansion to McLean High School to further address capacity issues. That may require adjusting the Capital Improvement Program (CIP) renovation calendar and including additional funding for planning and construction in the next school bond referendum. There has been some chatter about a modular trailer being relocated to McLean High School using funds from the 2019 school bond referendum. This would be a welcome alternative to a traditional classroom trailer, but it is important that this capacity stopgap be tied directly to plans for a physical expansion of McLean High School – and that it not be used as a permanent solution. Fast-forward to 2023, and no such scoping occurred over the past four years; no adjustments were ever made to the CIP; and Frisch later claimed that the relocation of a cheap modular to McLean's campus "fixed" the overcrowding there. At no point did he ever speak up about the need for a real "permanent solution." So from our perspective he really turned out to be full of crap. Don't know much about Sabio but definitely not voting for Frisch again. |
