[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Met de Feranti yesterday while he was door knocking.  He says the right things about need to have the County Board more involved with the School Board problems.  Whether he would be able to follow through is impossible to know.

I'm not convinced that Vihstadt is super helpful here.  He is very committed to having the county become more involved with additional affordable housing.  That may be creating more issues.[/quote]

I think you have your candidates confused, Vihstadt had been the one (unsuccessfully) resisting the rest of the CB’s plans to build more affordable housing.

As for de Ferranti, he does support the CB being more involved with the schools, but that’s no so much from a giving more money standpoint as a “let’s micromanage APS budgeting a bit more and find alternative solutions to overcrowding rather than building more seats.” Except the fourth high school, he’s “evolved” on that recently, I suspect because he’s figured out that appealing to APS parents will help help him win.[/quote]
