[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] Here was the DC "process": Mary Cheh heard from some constituents that they wanted their own Ward 3 pool. Hearst was already slated for a renovation project, so she put in an extra earmark for a pool. Hearst was basically the next train leaving the station so she jumped on. There wasn't much more analysis than that. [/quote] I think you're basically right, but I'm not sure it started with anyone wanting a "Ward 3" pool. Normal people (ie not politicians) don't think that way. Why would someone in Palisades care if a pool was added in Chevy Chase? What normal people care about is being able to walk to a pool. I think it was Cheh herself that noticed that Ward 3 was the only ward without an outdoor pool. From there, it was next train leaving the station.[/quote]
