[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Oh please. Why keep throwing good money after bad?  If the National Phil has a crappy business model, that’s not the Council’s fault. [/quote]

There are lots of things the government subsidizes despite their crappy business models. [b]Public schools, for example.[b] [/b]Also, roads. So why not the arts?[/quote]

+ 1 million

The Council supports a miserable school system that is incredibly poorly managed.  And continues to throw money at it, even when the stats show that student performance is decreasing.  MCPS leadership has shown itself to be inept and incompetent.  Maybe the County can work out a deal where they actually now fire that ex-Damascus HS principal (who had kids raped at her school, under her watch) and now has a cushy Central Office job.  Wasn't her salary about 150K?  Take that money and use it to fund the National Philharmonic so that we can save all these jobs.  [/quote]

Right! The County Council should just stop funding the public schools! They should be self-supporting through corporate sponsorships and bake sales! And definitely lose the money-losing, expensive, low-interest programs like special ed and the arts!

Or something.[/quote]
