[quote=Anonymous]This money that is pouring into this Ward 3 race from independent expenditures is quite something. DFER has an ad right now appearing on my page for Eric Goulet just below an ad for Medstar. Do you have any idea how much it costs to run these pop up ads? My friend even saw one for Eric on espn.com.

The financial disclosure statement shows that DFER paid their digital media company $375,000 in the last 90 days. They paid their direct mail vendor $398,000. Compare this to Matt Frumin's budget of about $169,000 for his whole campaign! And he out-fundraised everyone! These charter school advocates are literally trying to buy this council seat.

None of their ads mention school choice. My guess is because Ward 3 families like neighborhood schools and predictable feeder patterns. I'm beginning to wonder if our schools are kept overcrowded so we fill some charter school seats with our students. Maybe this is so given that Goulet is proposing to not open the new high school which is the number one way to address overcrowding at Jackson Reed/Wilson. His idea is to explore buying the Intelsat building or doing something with Duke Ellington. Pipe dreams and more than twice the cost.[/quote]
