A friend sent me this video clip of Ryan McElveen which is so incredibly insulting I had to post it. at around 3 hours 8 minutes, watch him in action at the March 26 school board meeting. Jane Strauss proposes a one-time $1 million rescue funding to help with the grossly overcrowded schools in her district because yes, you guessed it - its an election year and she's ignored class sizes for the

Look at what the article is saying - it's the government agency that goofed, not Scott Chronister. I WORK IN GOVT CONTRACTING - you should blame the Acquisitions officials for not following sole sourcing regulations - they should get their hands slapped, not the company that was awarded. And oh by the way, look at Connolly's $4 Billion sole source for the Dulles Rail. Anybody looking at THAT? I'

They all support Gatehouse II. And they plan to go back to the Board of Supervisors to approve it - only after Connelly is gone - and the dust settles - and they can use their "new methodology" to pick better numbers out of thin air to make a more "compelling" business case.
