[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I appreciate the thoughtful piece by Frumin.  I might not agree with everything, but clearly he is a smart and knowledgeable person.  The piece is detailed and goes farther in outlining his position than many other candidates.  That is a plus in my book.[/quote]

As others have said, it’s the fact that he is so knowledgeable that makes what he is saying so disappointing. He knows full well that the alternatives he is proposing have been tried and were found to be unworkable (as if no one talked to LAB and asked them to explore taking over River!). In proposing to cut the lion’s share of the OOB slots from MacArthur, he is pandering to base prejudice among those who oppose the school for entirely that reason. In refusing to call out falsehoods when they are presented to him, he is failing as a leader. If this is the kind of candidate that appeals to you, I really don’t know what more I can say to help you.[/quote]

No one in any position of authority talked to Lab. Certainly the Mayor's office and Mendelson were all-in on the lease extension. There's no evidence that anyone from Mary Cheh's office ever talked to Lab.

Lab absolutely refused to engage with their neighbors on this issue. None of your business. [/quote]

The finance chair of Mendelson's re-election campaign, Ben Young, was Lab's lobbyist. [/quote]
