[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]May Chen has done more damage to ward 3 with I know what’s best” approach to governing.  She is such an abrasive stilted person. How did she even get elected? The only people who defend her are her developer friends. [/quote]

OMG there is probably nothing she could do to boost her popularity more than finally getting a pool in Ward 3.

And what are you talking about when it comes to developer friends?  Hardly anything is getting built in Ward 3 - if any developers gave her money they should ask for it back.[/quote]

How many of Ward 3's 82,000 residents will fit into a pool that is smaller than a tennis court? She didn't think anything through. She just saw an open field and thought, "Good place for my pool."  She didn't see what many of us see, which is a heavily used green space. Hearst field is used every day of the year by residents and every weekend by soccer teams during the warmer months. A pool will only be open three months a year, eight hours a day. The rest of the time it will be an eyesore with a foot of  green algae at the bottom.

Twelve years ago, Cheh knocked on my door and asked for my vote. She hasn't been back since. She is a diffident incumbent, who doesn't care a lick about what her constituents think. She wraps herself in the "smart growth" mantle but that's just propaganda for her developer friends. It's not smart and its not growth. Wisconsin Avenue is still under performing economically after more than a decade of Cheh's "I know what's best" approach to governing. She has become horribly out touch - but not apparently with developers.  Oh, and thanks for the giant homeless shelter in a ward with the lowest rate of homelessness in the city. Mary Cheh needs to step down. Time for someone with fresh thinking  and who is not entrenched -  to take her seat.
