[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=jsteele][quote=Anonymous]Anything produced by a Council member who is fighting with the mayor is political.

Shepherd is literally the school for which the Mayor's home is zoned. I'm sure that's just a coincidence.

Bowser has lived in Shepherd Park for less than six months. I don't think this argument holds water. I have a hard time thinking this was a poltical move by Grosso against Bowser. It has only emboldened her supporters in Shepherd Park, already a very solid stronghold for Bowser.  Grosso is too smart to push a political item that strengthens his "opponent".

I am not IB for Shepherd. I understand the complaint that families have over the way this was handled. But frankly, serious ADA compliance issues and a working HVAC system that isn't a "death trap" as one PP put it, should not have been prioritized below decorative atrium and kiln. Blame whoever you want. But Grosso isn't wrong that there are other schools with much greater needs.

I do live in Ward 4, and I think that Brandon Todd is an ineffective voice on the council because the other council members just see a Bowser representative when they deal with him. He doesn't have his own issues or agenda. He just agrees with her, and does what she wants. I hope the voters of Ward 4 realize this before the election next month. [/quote]
