[quote=Anonymous][quote=jsteele][quote=Anonymous]This is so nutty.

First, no one person writes any Washington Post editorial. That's not how it works. They're written by the entire board.

Second, I'm not aware of anyone on the board who hasn't lived here forever. Jo-Ann Armao has been here for 40 years. Who cares if she technically lives in Silver Spring? (Are you begrudging teachers who can't afford to live in D.C. and live in PG County?)

It seems *extremely* disingenuous to compare her or anyone else on the board to an outside dark money group. [/quote]

I am not sure why you believe you can call this "nutty" when you clearly have no understanding of how Post editorials about DC are written. The entire board is not writing these. As for who cares that the primary editorial writer for DC lives in Maryland, I care. I don't know what teachers who live outside DC have to do with this. They can't vote and don't have access to DFERS's million dollars or the Post's readership.

I think we should be honest that DFER reflects the views of outside millionaires and the Post represents the views of suburban commuters. If you are good with that, that is your right. It is certainly not "nutty" for me to point it out.

One correction Jeff -- not millionaires, billionaires. [/quote]
