[quote=Anonymous]Laura Zeilinger, director of DC Department of Human Services, was one of the few people who admittedly had insight into the Ward 3 shelter sites considered. She lives in Tenleytown. Is it a coincidence that the proposals for shelters at 4620 Wisconsin Ave and 4000 Brandywine St were both dismissed by her or that the proposed shelter a block away from Mary Cheh's house was also not chosen? Is it a coincidence that not a single officer of the Ward 3 Democratic Committee lives in Observatory Circle or Glover Park? I find that hard to believe, especially when Mike Matthews, Ward 3 coordinator for the Mayor's Office of Community Relations, let slip in a conversation following the last Ward 3 ANC meeting that "the sites in Tenleytown were dismissed because they were too close to schools." Notably, this statement was made prior to the time the alternative sites were even made public. I'm sure the parents of Stoddert children would like some further elaboration on what exactly Zeilinger's concern was in respect of a shelter's proximity to schools. [/quote]
