[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I thought Frumin was strong and thoughtful. I really don't understand what Krucoff thinks he is offering voters.

[i]He has not been involved in any community activities and doesn't particularly know the Ward very well.[/i][/quote]

This is the old insider's line "We don't know you, so you don't belong here".  Incredibly, in the primary Frumin and his supporters did it to Goulet, someone who was with the Mayor and the Council involved daily in the most important budget issues and had run for the Council before, and it worked!

Krucoff grew up here, worked real estate all over the Ward and city, even if you took off for college and when he was in MoCo, has lived here as long as Frumin, if not longer.  He never left here to run for Congress a thousand miles away, like Frumin.

And what is this great Frumin record of self-appointed community activism? So he decided to make Ward 3 his hobby, good for him. He singlehandedly rebuilt the high school, Murch, a school in Ward 8, he knows of the empty parking spaces in the Cathedral Commons Giant garage.  Or so he says.  [b]He says he told the Lisner neighbors the expansion was going to happen, it would go where he said, it would be be about as big as he said, "But we can talk about everything else".  How is this different from any real estate developer, except Frumin did it as a volunteer?

There's a fine line between community service and being a self-important busybody. Neither one entitles you to a seat on the DC Council. [/quote]

This is a blatant lie. He worked with the neighbors and the architect to reconfigure the space so they could get the same number of units but in a way that alleviated the neighbors concerns. The neighbors all appreciated the time and care he took to moderate the situation.[/quote]
