[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Where is the Washington Post story about the neighbors outrage? This is a debate about the future of Tenleytown. It's a debate that puts a school with deep pockets and influential parents against a neighborhood that is diverse economically. It has Mary Cheh, parent and council board member and Washington Post editors and a shadowy smart growth front group on one side, against a band of upset neighbors in another. For the Post to drop the ball and not provide coverage is a failure of journalism and possibly a failure of journalistic ethics.[/quote]

Don't look to Mary Cheh for help.  She's been in the tank for big development since she first went on the council.  I can think of only two exceptions where she wasn't.  After initially supporting the Janney condo tower giveaway, she did an about-face and opposed it when it became clear that her constituents in the area were overwhelmingly opposed.  The second was when she took the neighbor's side to try to mitigate the impact of the new AU law school campus.  But everyone assumed that she was probably motivated more by a desire to beat up a rival law school, as she's been a professor for years at GW.  [/quote]
