[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am supporting Frumin. He has a more nuanced approach to the education issue that makes a lot of sense to me. But he is also better on issues like transportation and affordable housing than the others.[/quote]

This is why I'm supporting Finley - better than Frumin on housing and transportation and toe-to-toe with him on education. He's also closer to my age than Cheh's age and I think it's time for a changing of the guard.[/quote]

I’m a parent at John Eaton, which is located in the ANC that Beau Finley currently chairs.  I can say with rather high confidence that Beau Finley couldn’t find Eaton if he had a map.  He never expressed interest in education issues until he began his long shot campaign for the Council.[/quote]

BS. He and Dubois were the only commissioners pushing for a larger renovation to Eaton years ago so that it wouldn't be at capacity so soon.  Historic preservationists won out, though, saying any further renovation would be unsightly.[/quote]

Total disinformatsiya.  First, it was the ANC commissioner for the school, Nancy Macwood, who pushed this hard, joining the LSRT planning committees and personally doing the hard work with parents through appropriation. scoping, architect selection, parking arrangements for staff, construction, and lunch list.  Just ask former principal Jacqueline Gartrell, who managed the school through the whole process.  And speaking of her, Finley and another commissioner aggressively pushed back on her request for just a few more days to comment on traffic diversion to 34th Street and student safety during the ANC’s consideration of reconfiguring Connecticut Avenue.   It was shocking, but Principal Gartrell “schooled” them both, no doubt given her career experience dealing with rude juvenile brats.  Historic preservation is a total red herring, as DCPS got mayor’s agent approval in a consensual process to remove a less historic wing and build the capacity that DCPS needed on this small site.[/quote]

Interesting approach you have. Are you meaning to push people toward Finley because your attitude is doing exactly that with this voter. [/quote]
