[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Maret kids need a practice.  Outrageous— my parents pay taxes just like others so it’s reasonable to get field space—- just like any other school!!!![/quote]

You and all your exclamation points are ridiculous. Go away. The adults are talking. [/quote]

You can have field access equal to what Hardy gets.  Fair?[/quote]

That would require that Hardy + DCPS contract with DPR for a permit to use the fields. Have they done this?  And has the BGC requested a permit (even one that starts at say 5 pm).  Don’t most people realize that the majority of permitted field use at Jelleff is for private organizations.  It’s not a public place - it’s quasi-public and has been for the past decade.  For crying out loud, it’s the hardest field to get on - you can’t just walk up and use it.

The narrative that this is all above-board and that Maret just out-hustled the other groups through proper channels really pisses me off. This was an inside job, a sole-source contract, where city officials completely fell down on their obligation to the residents. And Maret is not some lucky, plucky beneficiary of this, they greased the skids to make it happen.[/quote]

+1.  No one else has a multi-year arrangement.[/quote]

DPR doesn't do multi-season permits, let alone multi-year. [/quote]
