[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Frumin supports scaled down schools at Foxhall (enough only for IB kids in foxhall for ES and Hardy for HS). He wants to take the savings and expand Stoddert/Key/Mann to have Pk3 there.

Thomas is OK with whatever DCPS does. So implicitly OK with the schools.[/quote]

Thomas has said he wants to reevaluate the sites.[/quote]

Thomas literally tweeted yesterday that he favors "saving" hardy park.[/quote]

So this makes Finley the only one serious about addressing school overcrowding? [/quote]
Yes. If people are truly concerned about school they should vote Finley. He’s the only one who understands the issue and supports a practical plan to address it. [/quote]

This is bad advice, and I'm a single-issue voter for improving our public schools.

The choice is between Frumin and Goulet. Finley has no shot. While Frumin is not my ideal candidate, Goulet would be awful for Ward 3 schools. Like, you would struggle to design a worse candidate. At least an indifferent candidate doesn't owe favors to financial backers pushing the replacement of neighborhood schools for charter schools. [/quote]
If your single issue is school crowding, then Finley is your only choice. I’m not sure how complicated this is. [/quote]

Au contraire. Even if Finley is better for my pet issue than Frumin, if he cannot win -- and he cannot win -- my vote for him is not helping my cause. If my second choice is Frumin and he is much, much better than Goulet, then I should vote for Frumin.

This is basic strategic voting here. [/quote]
He cannot win if you tell people not to vote for him. There is probably no better opportunity to get a true YIMBY like Finley on the council than now, when the vote is so fragmented. The winner of this primary will probably only have 20% of the vote share. If all the YIMBY supporters of Duncan and Bergmann turn and vote for Finley, he can win. [/quote]
