[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Bowser, Grosso, and Niles effectively killed this school. Sure, they'll fill the seats but this school will be damaged. The commute is across town and will take a minimum of one hour each way on a good day. Try it yourself. That's if the busses arrive on time, they have problems bussing the kids to Hardy. Grosso/Council gave away Hardy and Ellington is $150M over budget and they have the nerve to let this happen. [/quote] They "gave away Hardy..."[?] Who'd they give it to? WTF...?[/quote] I think the PP means the Old Hardy school on Foxhall...which private Lab School has its mitts on, even though all upper NW schools are over capacity and could use a creative pressure release that a property like Old Hardy could offer. [/quote] fair enough, but it's hard to pin Ellington on Bowser, Niles, or Grosso. At best Bowser could have put brakes on a project far along yet way over budget when she assumed office. Grosso has been a common sense voice of restraint. I'm no fan of the giant sucking sound that is the Ellington rennovation, but let's point blame where it belongs -- the DC political patronage system abused by Peggy Cafritz[/quote]
