[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Katie Cristol is a problem. She needs to go. Sadly, she was just elected. She has gone on record saying that if Arlignton received an unexpected windfall, she would not give any more to the schools. I’m sure it’s a tune the boomers love to hear, but she’s bad news for people who hope to eventually send kids to school in Arlington.[/quote]
I agree she is a big part of the problem. Libby Garvey is as well, she's adamantly opposed to increasing school capacity.[/quote]
But both of them are happy to vote for any affordable housing or increased density projects that are put in front of them. Don't ask where the children will go to school or if the developers are contributing money for schools. The developers are only asked for money for public art and affordable housing.

[quote=Anonymous]Ditto. I do not understand her at all. She's big on making childcare affordable -- which would make Arlington more attractive to FAMILIES. But doesn't care about properly funding schools for those families? Doesn't make any sense.[/quote]
It makes perfect sense, there almost nothing the County Board can do to make childcare affordable, but it sounds good as a campaign slogan. Also she wants you to move once you start costing the County money as then she can avoid unpopular decisions that may hurt her chances of getting elected to her next position. If you think being on the County Board is the end of her ambition, you haven't been paying attention.[/quote]
