[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Maret tries to style this as solely a Maret/Hardy issue and seeks to deflect and distract by pulling in arguments about Ellington that are not relevant to use of Jelleff. The fact is that this issue goes well beyond. Ten parties representing DC resident students from across the city are interested in sharing the most desirable hours of playing time at Jelleff. These kids include the members of the BGCGW which serves kids who need a safe place to hang out with friends and play after school. The BGCGW isn’t expensive and they don’t turn away kids who can’t pay. Maret may ‘win’ on legal grounds but they haven’t a moral leg to stand on and should be ashamed of their selfish ways. [/quote]

Maret is proof that what's legal isn't always what's moral.  Or maybe their deal will turn out to be not quite legal once the federal investigation into Jack Evan's deals is concluded.  In the meantime, 8 public schools and the BGCGW hope that somehow this deal will be overturned so they can use a public park that should be open to the public, not just rich kids whose parents know how to grease the wheels of city government.[/quote]
