[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Oh please. Why keep throwing good money after bad?  If the National Phil has a crappy business model, that’s not the Council’s fault. [/quote]

There are lots of things the government subsidizes despite their crappy business models. [b]Public schools, for example.[b] [/b]Also, roads. So why not the arts?[/quote]

+ 1 million

The Council supports a miserable school system that is incredibly poorly managed.  And continues to throw money at it, [b]even when the stats show that student performance is decreasing.[/b]  MCPS leadership has shown itself to be inept and incompetent.  Maybe the County can work out a deal where they actually now fire that ex-Damascus HS principal (who had kids raped at her school, under her watch) and now has a cushy Central Office job.  Wasn't her salary about 150K?  Take that money and use it to fund the National Philharmonic so that we can save all these jobs.  [/quote]
What stats show that?[/quote]
