[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This city has had large budget surpluses for basically the past decade.

Why the f#ck are we relying on outside private groups to maintain our parks? Why can’t DPR and DGS just do their goddamn jobs? Hell, hire a contractor to maintain the properties. But it’s utter BS that this city spent close to $10m to acquire Jelleff just to turn around and give it to a private school for a 10 year lease.

I can’t wait until Jack Evans gets booted. What a slime ball. [/quote]

+ 1 DC has the money to maintain this park. But Jack Evan's son went to Maret.  He may not get re-elected due to the corruption scandal, but DC residents will be stuck with this crappy Maret deal for another decade (and DC residents complained about it back in 2010 as well).  Has the Maret community responded at all?  One would think this all looks very bad for them.

[quote]In a list compiled by the Washington Examiner, council members have shown that they, like most upper-middle class parents in the District, know it's best to avoid the DCPS.

Jack Evans wins the award for spending the most money to keep his kids far, far away from the school district ranked in the bottom of the nation: his two daughters attend National Cathedral School, while his son will graduate from St. Patrick's Episcopal Day School to Maret School next year. His stepson is a student at Gonzaga High School. The latter is the least expensive, with a yearly tuition of over $16,000 (no word on whether his twins get a discount at National, or if Evans shoulders the burden of $33,000 for each of his twin daughters).[/quote][/quote]
