[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]As part of the school’s arrangement with the city, Maret received preferred permitting for 10 years, for 2 hours a day after school for 10 weeks in the fall and spring.. The rest of the time the field is available to the entire community. Maret wanted a 20-year agreement with the city for their investment. A compromise was reached where the city agreed to extend the relationship for an additional 10 years, if Maret delivered on the terms of the contract in the first 10 years.[/quote]

Reply and ask him to point you to the clause where it states that the "city agreed to extend the relationship for an additional 10 years" and, if no such clause exists, why the hell the city should be compelled to honor his back-room deals. While you're at it, ask him why he insists on dragging the city's reputation through the mud again by refusing to resign instead of making way for someone marginally less slimy. You might also consider asking him whether he'd consider coming along to an ANC meeting so we can provide him with some feedback. Also, you could ask . . . ah, forget it . . .  [/quote]

This is the big lie. There was never any doubt that Maret was going to deliver, they put their money up front, they had completed their obligation within six months of signing the deal. There was no obligation to extend. The city just tossed Maret a bone. [/quote]
