[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Both Dorsey and Cristol campaigned on the promise of more coordination with APS. I asked them and they both talked about it. Of course, Cristol didn't really say anything, it was all non-committal consultant speak, literally.

Vihstat is the only one who questions county spending, to include CAFs, aquatics etc. So, perhaps if he had been more than just ONE vote all the extra budget money at the end of the year (like $11 million or so) could have been used for schools, or something (like flooding in certain neighborhoods). Think of all the end of the year money that goes to the AFIH fund, like $10million a year. Over 4 years that a new elementary school! An underground parking garage!

The County wants to spend money to keep lower income families in Arlington, I get that. But that isn't leaving enough money for them to have a real seat in a real classroom.

What I'd vote for is anyone who commits to requiring developers who add housing density to also put in money for school construction funds.  Ridiculous that they'll get them to pay for public art instead of schools.[/quote]
