[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I saw this article on The Hill and immediately thought about the boundary review. The Democratic Party has hemorrhaged voters lately, in part for being out of touch on its policies. Exhibit 1 is the boundary review.

Ignore the URL mention of white voters, because the article is not really about that.

Here’s a quote from the article - “We do better when we first meet voters where they are and then bring them along on other issues. … And nine times out of 10, what they really care about is whether or not they’re going to be able to afford health care, whether or not their kids are going to be able to go to a good school … housing, living paycheck to paycheck.”

Since all politics are local, the school board is doing immense damage to the Democratic brand with the unnecessary comprehensive boundary review.[/quote]

I wonder how the election of Sandy Anderson, who was already trying to undermine the Thru Consulting recommendations, as the new School Board chair, will affect the boundary review.  At some point will there be a confrontation between the School Board and Reid where they throw Reid under a bus?  [/quote]

Sandy Anderson has been one of the worst, if not the worst school board rep on boundaries.

She has actively worked against her Springfield District families on this issue, and has been miserable with communication, alternating between completely ignoring or dismissing constituents from multiple neighborhoods,  to promoting neighborhoods from outside her schools over the schools she represents (pushing to displace and rezone Hunt Valley/Irving/WSHS families and replacing them with Lewis/Key neighborhoods)

It is unbelievable that anyone would think that Sandy Anderson is the face of resistance [i]against[/i] rezoning.  This rezoning is Sandy Anderson's pet project.[/quote]

It’s her pet project for sure. Interesting that her neighborhood isn’t touched, but a neighborhood right behind hers is slotted to move without much reason. [/quote]
