[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Only 5% of District A voters voted. That is really disgusting in a city that prides itself on civic engagement. I didn't vote for Tim Beaty. I voted for Gina Baum. But I would not say anything bad about Beaty. He is a nice man with good values. I am a lifelong Dem and I don't like how the ADC was so involved particularly the SB chair campaigning for Mr. Beaty and endorsing him. It's like a HS popularity contest. Who is more ADC? Both candidates are long time ADC volunteers but only Baum is a parent. Let's hope Mr. Beaty works to get the teachers' steps restored and living wages for bus drivers and cafeteria workers![/quote]

When I wrote “same garbage” - I was actually referring in part to what you describe here.  It seems to me that one criteria for determining who was “more ADC” was who followed the rules for not criticizing ACPS the best.  The ADC consensus clearly was that Beaty was best at that.

I had never heard of Beaty before he announced his candidacy.  My significant skepticism arises from the course of events you describe - that the ADC establishment so actively pushed for him to win.
