[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Agree that even if White is pro WTU I’m still not supporting Bowser. She is so downtown/corporate it is a joke. Like all she wants to do is play junior developer and wanna be Bloomberg fan. At least White is about constituents, actual humans, not sound bites and paint on 16th Street.[/quote]

How?  I don't see this at all.  His office never responds to my emails.  He never speaks to any of my concerns in his council hearings.  I don't get it at all.  I have never seen any plan of his, or anything that he has done, that has any substance at all.  He's just soundbites and hot air.

I'm not a huge fan of Bowser but she opened the schools, and would have opened them sooner [b]if it weren't for WTU.[/b][/quote]

This is horseshit. Massachusetts has some of the strongest teachers unions in the US and they opened in fall of 2021. Bowser’s weak leadership and desire to stick it to Trump kept the schools closed. [/quote]

NP. Please explain how Bowser worked to keep schools closed in fall of 2020 to stick it to Trump. You were evidently wrong about the teacher’s unions in Massachusetts being the driving force of (or at least not an impediment to) school openings there, but maybe you can explain your claim about what happened in DC.[/quote]

PP here again. To be clear k I’m with you on the weak leadership, which was evident in Bowser’s failure to stand up to the WTU. But that wasn’t because she wanted to stick it to Trump.[/quote]

It was partly anti-Trump. She won nationwide attention last year for her anti-Trump posturing. Also, she was a useless negotiator with WTU. She tried the my way or the highway approach with the WTU which spectacularly backfired. Dumb move on her part and it cost us a lot[/quote]

I'll agree that her negotiation skills leave a lot to be desired.  But the alternative (right now) is Robert White, who I guess would have just said, "Yeah let's stay home the WTU doesn't believe it is safe ever."[/quote]
