[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]New deal, new Wilson, new middle school... Do we see a trend? Ward 3 is getting a lot of snazzy upgrades, wonder what ward 8 is getting? Minor fixes. Shows where the money's going.[/quote] You could also say that it shows where the money (tax revenue, that is) is coming from. For years, particularly in the sorry Barry era, DC spent practically nothing west of the park, always saying that other areas were "more deserving." Certainly there are acure needs in Ward 8 and other wards. But at least Tony Williams and Adrian Fenty began investing in infrastructure in all wards of the city -- schools, playgrounds, parks, pathways -- so that areas that are the revenue engines of the city feel that they are getting some District services.[/quote]
