[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Karl is now spending money on a 30-second TV ad that concludes with his saying “I hope I can earn your vote for School Board on November 7th.”

It’s an interesting choice of words because someone who has been in office for 4 years ought to be able to point to past accomplishments and say “I hope I have earned your vote.”

But Frisch can’t do this, so I guess we can all pretend he’s a first-time candidate with the best of intentions.  [/quote]

What? "I hope I can earn your vote" is what all candidates say. They don't want to be cocky and sound like they are entitled to your vote.[/quote]

Nope. They point to past accomplishments, if they have any, and show they are humble by saying “I hope” that “I have earned your vote” so as to not sound presumptuous. Frisch’s problem is that he can’t point to past achievements that would warrant a vote of continued confidence. [/quote]

Here that is. His accomplishment list is too big that you can't fit it in a 30 second ad. https://www.karlfrisch.com/record/[/quote]

"Creatively Addressing Overcrowding
Karl sponsored a successful proposal to build a new elementary school on existing system property in Dunn Loring – a move that saved money and will ease overcrowding in the fast-growing Tysons periphery for years to come."

He is right that this site is on the "Tysons [i]periphery[/i]," insofar as the site is not in Tysons.  It's misleading to call it a "fast-growing area."  In fact, Dunn Loring is surrounded by multiple under-enrolled elementary schools that are projected to remain under-enrolled for years and are in areas that include few residential housing applications.

There is growth further east but if they build at Dunn Loring it means schools that should be built elsewhere won't get built because there will be such a glut of space in Vienna/Dunn Loring.  That will mean longer bus rides for students and a lack of amenities in other areas that need them to enhance a sense of community.

Karl and his buddies also misled community residents by suggesting this school would be a rehab of the charming old Dunn Loring school building constructed in the 1930s.  Instead, the plan is now to tear it down entirely.

Frisch is the type of dolt who drives people out of the public schools and leads others to lose trust in public officials. [/quote]
