[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Vote against Laura Stewart. She has supported these proposals and does not seem to have any interest in protecting the MCPS capital budget to make sure the new residents have seats in schools. [/quote]

Laughable.  She's only been [u]the most vocal proponent[/u] of funding for school infrastructure that the county's seen in over a decade.

Where have you seen her support the AHS as it is without guardrails protecting school funding and avoiding school overcrowding?  By the same token, where have you seen Shebra Evans come out against it?[/quote]

Haven’t seen her take a position on the latest proposal to cut impact fees and she has been an advocate for the AHS [b]from its earliest days.[/b] [/quote]

So, from before the extremes we saw introduced this year.  Those community sessions a couple of years back saw none of them, as noted in a post earlier today.  Meamwhile, all that time, she spent more effort than anyone out there advocating for school capital improvements.

I know her to be an advocate for [i]affordable[/i] housing, which AHS does not really address.  Many of those speaking in opposition to AHS have framed their opposition in the same manner.  I have not seen her to come out opposing AHS, but neither have I seen Shebra Evans, her opponent, come out in opposition.  Frankly, Evans is someone from whom one might have expected [i]more[/i] as a 2-term BOE member (and President for at least 2 of those years years) to address school infrastructure needs, though responsibility for that lies more at the feet of the County Council's repeatedly underfunding the associated budget request.

I'm surprised thay neither Stewart nor Evans has commented on the latest proposal to cut impact fees, but until one does and the other does not, that does not appear to be a differentiator.[/quote]
