[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Her Council career has jumped the shark. Can anyone suggest a viable alternative who will  represent Ward 3 residents and businesses in a reasonable way? I'd like to start supporting that person. Where's the opposition in Chehdom?[/quote]

I can think of two.  Matt Frumin who waged a losing campaign for the DC Council a few years ago.  But he lost a lot of support outside Janney's district with his behavior on the school redistricting committee.  Another is Nancy MacWood, longtime chair of ANC 3C, the ward's largest ANC.  MacWood is smart, fair and widely respected, but she'd have to be convinced to run.[/quote]

A huge no to MacWood. Huge. She hates everything, she screwed the neighborhood out of being able to use the NCS gym because she lives across the street from it, she caused the 15 year delay to Cathedral Commons (and the effect of adding the residential tower which was not part of the original proposal)

The NIMBYs love her, but she would be a nightmare.

There are a lot of good ANC Commissioners as well as the current and former school board reps. Plenty of bench talent.[/quote]

In fact, it was Macwood who invited Giant to submit plans for redevelopment of the site in the 2004-2005 time frame, after Ahold had acquired Giant.  Whether or not that turned out to be a good idea depends on whether one thinks Cathedral Commons is a good or shitty design.[/quote]
