[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It looked to me like Stengel is doing the ES process and Nattress and Chadwick are the main staff on CC. They have to do both at the same time. There is a complete lack of leadership at the top though. WTF did the SB renew Murphy’s contract? Where is he in any of these conversations?

Murphy knows where his bread is buttered. That’s telling old guard Arlington Dem’s that we can out source our schools, go online, do shifts - ya know BE INNOVATIVE... and not have to spend money on seats the old timers don’t need. He’s telling the people who actually vote, what they want to hear. Please please please go to a SB caucus some day. Silver hair as far as the eye can see. The people making policy - meaningful policy - don’t  have kids in the  schools. We squabble over the crumbs we’re thrown.[/quote]

I am the PP and you are preaching to the choir! I volunteered at the last caucus actually... and begged and pleaded with my younger neighbors to come out to vote. There were more strollers than prior elections (leading to Lander's defeat for sure) but still a lot of clueless parents who couldn't bother to show up. I know why NVD pushed Murphy's contract renewal through early. It is just so irritating that they don't hold him accountable for anything. He is the CEO of APS and he should be developing a plan to build these seats and selling it to the community. He just hides behind his staff and it is complete and utter BS. If Mark Schwartz acted that way, the County Board would fire him in a heartbeat. Not that Mark Schwartz is perfect by any means either... but at least he can speak eloquently about his diabolical plan to over-build residential buildings to make up for the loss of commercial tax revenue. Have you ever heard Murphy speak coherently about anything longer-term?[/quote]
