[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Quote from an email written today by FCCA member:

“In March 2021, our community association held a meeting and asked neighbors living in the immediate vicinity of Hardy Park (approximately .25 miles or less), whether they favored or opposed the construction of the Foxhall School on Hardy Park.( https://foxhall.org/fcca-boundaries/)

Our community association wanted to obtain this information to gauge the support of the people who would be most affected by the increased traffic, reduced parking, etc. generated by the construction of the second school on Hardy Park (the first new public school being the school on the GDS campus across the street). https://foxhall.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/03/March-2021_FCCA_FINAL.pdf

Some have criticized even having this type of vote as evidence that people living near Hardy Park think that “they own the park”. Shouldn’t a neighborhood association ask residents for their opinions/thoughts about an issue that will have a significant effect on their life? “[/quote]

This vote was also preceded by a months-long deluge of misinformation by the FCCA Board and systematic efforts to mobilize the participation of those they knew to be in favor and to suppress dissenting voices. It was as much of a sham as the kind of elections that banana republics have.[/quote]
