[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The financials of the Bowser's plan were laughable and amateurish. Bowser's team was counting on hysterical and anti-inclusion backlashes from the identified communities especially in NW, in order to switch the stage from math to a political duel (NW versus SE). Nothing of this happened, communities, ANC Commissioners and Council members all stayed very cool, defending the inclusion principle but rejecting the financial projections and the plan of building public facilities on private leased properties (with leasing prices agreed at several orders of magnitude above market prices...especially for Ward 3). Bowser's plan sucked, would have generated a 30+ year damage to the District finances, and a misuse of public resources to return political favors. Voters are not impressed with Bowsers' hysterical yells at Mendelson , while trying to transfer on the Council the responsibility of any delays in the closing of DC General. She and her team are revealing themselves for what they are..... Citizens, communities, ANC members and Council members have given them a lesson of civil sense, integration and solidarity values, transparency and good governance principles. Same is happening in this forums. A handful of contributors trying to light a fire, with community members replying with facts and solid arguments about the inadequacy of the plan (thanks Glover Park poster with kids above Stoddert age).[/quote] Wow. One of the most intelligent comments I've read on DCUM in months if not years. Thank you.[/quote]
