[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]ACPS parent here. I want to know which candidates are pro-charter and/or vouchers. Those who are definitely do not get my vote.

Silberberg’s Vote: If I recall correctly,[b] she was a No vote because she believed it did not adequately fund ACPS.[/b] The spin that her no vote means she’s against funding ACPS is a bit dishonest. She actually wanted more funding than what was in the package. Like an earlier poster, I was unhappy with my choices, but was leaning towards Wilson. And then the Potomac Yard debacle. I know they all knew it, but as a Metro employee he should have known better. It’s always the cover up that’s worse than the crime. [/quote]

There are these pesky things called facts, Silberberg troll:

"Mayor Allison Silberberg cast the lone dissenting vote, and said after the budget passage that the 5.7 percent increase was too onerous on Alexandria taxpayers.

'This is far too much a burden on our citizens all at once. To me, this is just not acceptable,” she said, adding that she thought the original budget proposal from City Manager Mark Jinks, which included a 2.7-cent real estate tax rate increase, was proactive and prudent. “Make no mistake, it’s a historic tax rate increase.'"

Your post is so intellectually dishonest and disingenuous that I actually laughed out loud. Like a previous poster pointed out- she was voting against a massive 'historic' tax increase, not the schools. Wilson wants the increase and wants to spend it yesterday on pet projects. Laughably, he's quoted in your link (did you even read it?) talking about driving growth throughinvestment in infrastructure.

Yes, the dude who hid the deletion of the PYM south entrance is bragging about infrastructure investment.

How can anyone take that fool seriously?[/quote]
