[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]hahaha. Take a look at the wider city and you'll see that Eaton has to be last - or close to it - because of equity realizations.[/quote]

Ha, yourself.  Where was the talk of "equity realizations" when Janney was being renovated twice' or was it three times, in 10 years? Or when Ellington is ravenously costing $200 million and climbing? Eaton is a prime example of how those who wait their turn in line, follow the rules and don't know elbow others out of the way, get screwed in the end.[/quote]

PP here and yes, you understand my snark. All the unmodernized schools are being shafted by Ellington and the orgy of modernizations in W3 (to the detriment of the rest of the city).[/quote]

Plenty of schools around DC have been renovated, not just in ward 3.  Eaton shouldn't pay the price on the notional altar of 'equity' when it's last in line and all of its peer scholls have had their turn.  I agree with you on Ellington.  There's likely been criminal fraud there and people ought to be indicted.  But that's unlikely, give. How wired Ellington's boosters are into DC's political establishnent and their network of cronies.. [/quote]

Are you saying that Eaton should be prioritized over other non-Ward 3 unrenovated schools because "it's peer schools have all had their turn"? :shock: [/quote]

Not necessarily.  But waiting nearly another decade before another school renovation project goes forward in ward 3 is just unacceptable.   It smacks of the dysfunction, delay and cheap, resentment-based politics of the Barry era.[/quote]
