[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm an Arl Dem and what's written above just isn't true. If you're a Democrat, maybe find out for yourself by talking to the CB and SB members rather than believing some anonymous person who obviously has a grudge.[/quote]

OP’s concern with school capacity and faculties is so fundamental that he or she shouldn’t have to set up a special meeting to talk with the various board members.  The answers should be out there.  The fact that they are not obvious is a problem.  Also, I don’t think “grudge” means what you think it means.[/quote]

OP here, and thank you!

And I"m inclined to believe that poster because it makes sense. Every time I vote I get a printout of who the Democratic Party wants, and those candidates always win. I'm sure the party has a cohesive agenda and they take advantage of Arlington's democratic-leaning populace to get what they want most. Why wouldn't they? TBH I probably would. That's politics.

Maybe the above poster is feeding me a line of bull because she has a grudge, but what's more trustworthy: that comment or a politician who is defending bad policy?[/quote]

I’m that poster and I do not have a grudge!!!!  I am however beyond frustrated with the school capacity answers, the lack of answers or solutions, and the fact that ACDC controls both boards so that there’s no hope for an independent voice.  You are 100 percent right, these people are politicians and of course they can take advantage of the large democratic majority to get it done.  And most of the voters don’t have school-ages kids, so that’s their base.  The board members aren’t bad people, but the school isn’t their top priority.  I don’t know of any groups trying to address it, I think most people get frustrated and give up :([/quote]
