[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don't see a lot of FCCA donors in Frumin's reported take:

I think that is a canard being thrown by some supporters of other candidates.[/quote]

Campaign contributions, thankfully, are not everything. What was being referenced in this case is his response to a misleading screed by a long-time opponent of the new DCPS schools that not only failed to correct the various misrepresentations in the original e-mail but then presented proposals designed to appeal to those who harbor fears based on those misrepresentations (such as the poster above who claims that Foxhall ES will filled with "kids from Stoddert/Glover Park").[/quote]

I think the point is, one can have a view that is sound, that isn't because of the FCCA. In this case, it is clear Mr. Frumin has basically zero donations from the Foxhall area, despite taking the largest amount of donations in the race. So the idea of cynically ascribing his view as pandering to the Foxhall NIMBYs is a false narrative. [/quote]

Please apprise the readership where anyone said that Matt was staking out these irresponsible positions because he had FCCA donors. You can’t because no one said it. Stop putting words in people’s mouths.[/quote]

There were people in this and the other thread discussing the new high school that suggested Frumin was taking this position as deference to the Foxhall NIMBYs. Scroll back in both threads to see the posts. Given the paucity of donors from lower Palisades, it seems clear that Frumin's position is based on his experience with DCPS and not as some have claimed.[/quote]
