[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yes, been in the Twain-Ewing building.  Why does MCPS let things fall into disrepair? It wasn't that long ago that they were bussing the kids from Rock Terrace to Twain to use that pool (instead of walking across the street). 
Only if someone somewhere starts actually thinking creatively about the bus lot will a new or different solution be found.  But I guess we can't depend on the same people who let the Twain facility fall into disrepair to come up with any solution other than the one that they pulled out of their *hat* at the last minute.[/quote]

How long ago was it?

And maybe you could tell us what MCPS should have not paid for, in order to pay for repair upkeep of the pool. Please be more specific than "eliminate waste, fraud, and abuse" or "cut administrative positions".

I'm all in favor of "someone somewhere" to think of alternative locations for the bus depot, though.[b] How about you doing it?[/b] The people in the neighborhood in Aspen Hill would surely be grateful, since "Alternative Site X is better for a bus depot than the Twain-Ewing site" will probably work better as an argument than "We don't want the alternative school in our neighborhood because it's bad for our property values".[/quote]

Not the PP, but is that realistic?  MoCo spends hundreds of thousands of dollars on feasibility studies to determine if a particular location is viable for a specific purpose, etc.  You expect a random person living in the county to know the ins and outs of how that's decided?

No, I expect somebody who criticizes MCPS as a bunch of fools who can't do anything right to propose possible alternative locations that are better. If MCPS is a bunch of fools who can't do anything right, that shouldn't be such a hard task, right?[/quote]
