[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote] Evans backed the deal between Maret and the District, in which the private school has rights to its turf field for the next decade in exchange for spending nearly $1 million on improvements. The arrangement is in effect at peak hours on school days, from 3:30 p.m. to 5:30 p.m. in the fall and spring.

Peak Hours??? 3:30-5:30 pm. Looks like Hardy can use the field during school. Lots of false info being spread by the Hardy crowd. [/quote]

They all have a chip of their shoulder because Hardy will never be Deal.[/quote]

Maret has a chip on its shoulder because it doesn’t like people pointing out that it can’t afford a field of its own like the top tier DC private schools can. [/quote]

How about Maret practice at Ellington then! (and convert their own parking lot to a baseball field also) Or find a less privileged neighborhood they can go buy out ... since that seems to be their strategy (now that the area around Jellef is aware of the deal & pushing back)...[/quote]

Yeah, why not ?  Maret then could pay to renovate a second major DC asset because the District’s leaders are wasting  the tax money instead on crony consultants and sham 8a contracts.[/quote]

Why don’t you talk to Maret parent (and soon to be indicted councilman) Jack Evans? He will be the first to tell you that DC is flush with catch and doesn’t need the 95k/year that Maret is paying for exclusive access to a facility Dc taxpayers spent $15 million on more than a decade ago.  And we all know Maret can’t afford to pay for renovation of anything these days.  If they could afford it, they would have moved their parking lot underground to create more field space like Sidwell did. [/quote]

If DC is so flush with cash, then why do Hardy boosters deflect that a field at Hardy or even a renovated Ellington Field for Hardy are impossibilities?[/quote]
