[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I will say just one more thing. I would be far more concerned with money flows if I didn’t acutely feel the problems people list on this board. I am at the point where I will vote for anyone with the courage to solve them FAST. I will not vote for anyone who advocates that we need to study the issue that has been demonstrated and has a solution, and used for be better, for another undetermined period of time. I don’t like where I am but there we have it.

I agree with you here. One of my issues is schools in Ward 3, and we're facing the same problem with being told we need to study the issue more and find a better spot for new schools. We can open the old GDS campus immediately and alleviate the overcrowding issues at Wilson, as is in the mayor's plan. Goulet has promised that he will obstruct that and look for "better options" which show no signs of appearing anytime soon.  [/quote]

Goulet is now saying his "secret plan" is to move Ellington to either UDC or IntellSat and reopen the Ellington building as Western High School. Which ignores the fact that DCPS doesn't own either site and they just spend $200 million to equip Ellington as a performing arts facility.  To actually execute that plan would probably take a decade and cost half a billion dollars before it was done. At $50 million the MacArthur site is a bargain.

And if he thinks there's community opposition to the MacArthur site, just wait until the Ellington community and the Van Ness neighbors hear about this plan. [/quote]
