[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So Maret parents think it's okay for DC taxpayers to pay millions in fixing up the Ellington field and creating a field at Hardy instead of paying a smaller amount to maintain jelleff? Just so they can keep their access to Jellef?  This is such a horrible suggestion.[/quote]

Hardy parents think that Maret parents should pony up for capital improvements and maintenance at Jelleff so that Hardy kids can use it.  Isn’t the better question to ask Mayor “Vision Zero” why she is wasting taxpayer money on her crony consultants (most of whom live in PG County, not even in DC), and having to use private money as gap filler to maintain our recreation facilities?[/quote]

No. Ten years ago Maret entered into a deal to pay for the construction of the field in exchange for ten years of use. Now the ten years are up, and Maret is saying they didn't really mean to sign a ten year deal, they really meant a 19 year deal, so they should get another nine years for their original investment.

+1. The city does not need Maret’s paltry 95k/ year for exclusive afterschool access.  The city paid 25 mn for Jelleff and committed 15 mn to renovate its rec center.  If you don’t believe me, just ask Maret parent and soon to be felon and ex-councilmember Jack Evans  who has recently described the city as flush with cash.[/quote]
