[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]shocked by the vitriol towards Charles Allen on here. We live on the Hill, and have great respect for the work his team has done. He is a good guy.

Totally in agreemebt that this was not piblicized appropriately, and it does burn to think of the extra taxes on massages, gyms, exercise classes, and now this. But I think the fees will actually help make things less of a free for all. The pools may be more focused on swimming. I am a swimmer and avoid the pools in the summer months entirely bc of the lack of maintenance, dirty water, and unruly behavior. Maybe some of that unruly behavior will be diverted towards splash parks, and the pools will be better for swimming.

I guarantee all the vitriol is from one single wronged person. We also live in Ward 6 and I'm a big fan of Charles Allen. He is incredibly responsive and thoughtful, at least in the limited dealings I've had with him. And I haven't heard anything otherwise from neighbors or friends in Ward 6. [/quote]

I would love to hear what you think Charles Allen has done for Ward 6. The security camera thingy at really benefitted Wards 7 and 8?  Last I checked Eliot Hine is still not renovated. The middle school situation in general is a mess. Safety concerns abound with crime at an all time high. Ths RFK Stadium was botched. Anything else?  Safety, schools, and public spaces - all mishandled. Charles Allen is a failure. [/quote]
