[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The big issue with the Maret deal is/was the lack of transparency. The stakeholders should be participants in the decision-making process. It seems that there was little encouragement--if any--of public input from Hardy parents, the residents of Georgetown, and perhaps even Maret parents, who might not have wanted $1M+ of their school's income going towards a public field. [/quote] Bull. I was at a meeting two years ago where Hardy parents were asking DPR not to renew the deal. All the people you name have been quite vocal in opposing the deal, DPR just ignored them. I'll throw in ANC's and civic associations, they also came out in opposition early. There was a Council hearing in the spring where representatives from Hardy, ANC's and citizens associations all testified in opposition. Maret has been pushing the talking point that there was no opposition, that's fake news.[/quote] +1. Do Maret parents and administrators not read much? There was (some) opposition to this deal in 2010 (see 2010 Georgetown article) but the community has been mobilizing against a renewal of the Maret deal for at least a year now.... https://georgetowner.com/articles/2019/09/05/anc-meeting-erupts-in-protest-over-jelleff-agreement/ https://deadspin.com/the-legendary-public-rec-center-in-a-private-schools-po-1837648863/amp https://georgetowner.com/articles/2019/05/20/burning-questions-about-jelleff-center-plans/ https://georgetowner.com/articles/2019/07/03/anc-meeting-heats-up-over-jelleff/ https://georgetowner.com/articles/2019/04/03/228309/ https://www.google.com/amp/s/georgetownmetropolitan.com/2010/01/21/city-turns-over-jelleff-fields-to-maret/amp/ http://209.160.1.24/admin/uploadfiles/GT%20Feb.%203%201.pdf[/quote] Why is the community so ineffective? Where was the outrage before this happened? Seems like they wasted a year without doing anything substantial, so a lot of this seems like faux outrage rather than a real loss.[/quote] LOL! You are blaming the victim of other people’s corruption! That’s a new low.[/quote]
