[quote=jsteele]Get back to the topic of the thread, the Washington Post Editorial Board weighed in on the Franklin School project today:

http://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/pulling-the-plug-on-franklin-school/2015/02/22/5bbd796e-b879-11e4-aa05-1ce812b3fdd2_story.html

"D.C. MAYOR Muriel E. Bowser (D) is right to review major economic development decisions made in the final months of her predecessor’s administration. Successful implementation now falls on her shoulders, and the District has learned the hard way the problems of last-minute deals that can’t be undone. The process, though, must be fair, transparent and convincing, conditions that aren’t apparent in the recent decision to change direction in the development of the Franklin School."

"Ms. Bowser needs to revisit this issue. We think she has been unfairly criticized for having an animus to the arts, but her economic development team ought to sit down with the principals of the project in an effort to come up with workable solutions — or explain why there are none. A failure to try will send an unfortunate message about what can be expected from this new administration."
