[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] just watched this video. Very upsetting.[/quote] +1. He’s completely delusional. He’s basing his policy choices on the fact that a work colleague CHOSE to live in a different neighborhood 40 years ago? We’re all getting punished because of this foggy memory which may or may not be true? This is scary stuff. [/quote] Ward 3 residents voted for a guy who campaigned on making your quality of life worse. Sadly, he’s good at his job and delivering on his promise. [/quote] I voted for the Republican. I have to live with my neighbors choices, but hoping next time they'll consider alternatives to Bernie Sanders type representation.[/quote] The republican was an awful candidate and barely mentioned crime on his platform. Nice guy and I spoke to him at length, but he wasn’t running to win. His campaign was heavy on no bike lanes…yeah, some people are passionate for or against, but 95% of us don’t care. [b]He also spent a ton of time promoting charter schools. I pointed out that 90% of Ward 3 is DCPS or private and we don’t have any charters in Ward 3. Told him again just not a compelling issue for Ward 3.[/b] He claims he is really an independent and only ran Republican because the Republican Party refuses to stand down and not run somebody and endorse an independent. As a result, if he was independent he would split the vote with a republican. [/quote] Charter schools are an important part of DC's public educational system. And there is (and historically has been) a Ward 3 cohort at Washington Latin. A number of Ward 3 students also go to Walls, which while not technically a charter is run like one.[/quote] Walls is absolutely not a charter. It is part of DCPS, like the other application schools, and is within that umbrella, with WTU teachers. It is not "run like a charter"[/quote]
