[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Wilson has been saying for years that the development doesn't bring kids to the area. School Board members have been citing consultants for years and telling people that development won't increase the numbers at the schools.  I had a school board member swear up and down to me that Potomac Yards area wouldn't bring a single child into the school system. I said that was impossible. He said the consultants know best and they say no kids.

But now that they have been proven wrong, they'll pretend that this is what they've been saying all along and the racist residents of Alexandria are the ones preventing schools from being built. [/quote]

What board member? Are they still on the council?[/quote]

Wilson pulled out this old trope at our civic association meeting, claiming that the student population lives in 50+ year old housing. It is a way of avoiding the question, which is why are we not expanding school capacity to meet a growing student population.[/quote]

It's insanity and if that is the truth why are they building 60+sqt elementary schools? It doesn't make any sense. But again, why deny what is so obviously true? Does he plan to be out of Alexandria when his lies become obvious? What about the rest of the council and school board?

I just don't understand why they keep denying reality. Because they don't like to do the hard stuff? Politicians love to take credit for building new schools. Hell, even Hutchings took credit for new schools that he had nothing to do with.

The city funds the CIP. They are in control of this and they are going to have to own it when they can't kick the can any further. [/quote]
