[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why doesn't anyone like Alison silberberg? I've only heard good things about her. [/quote] She is, in effect, the candidate of the Old Town Civic Association. Opposed to the development that the City needs. Says nothing at Council meetings. In the debate about the Potomac Yard metro her only input was to call for "traditional architecture" in the buildings to be built there. The OTCA is led by old NIMBYs who flood the local papers with illogical letters and opinions. Generally they support the Republican candidates for Council, but insist that Dems show party loyalty by voting for Silberberg. Silberberg won the primary only because the pro development, pro transit votes were split between Euille and Kevin Donley. And because registered Republicans from Old Town voted in large numbers, and because (it being a primary and an offyear) blacks voted in small numbers. [/quote]
