I had the opportunity to attend the fireside chat with Dr. Taylor regarding Option H. As a Wootton grad this issue is personal to me.

Although I give him credit for standing in front of a very hostile audience of parents and community leaders, I found some of his responses disingenuous and dismissive.

The crowd was strongly favoring keeping Wootton at Wootton, however it appeared obvious that he had made-up his mind that  Wootton would be closing.

I had the opportunity to talk to several parents and community members about Option H. Their concerns where chronicled during a December meeting where they used affinity mapping to document their concerns and included many high intensity comments, Including:

Direct Quotes:

"Many of us bought our homes because we want to live within walking distance of Wootton."

“If Wootton is unsafe, why use it as a holding school?"

“If you have to do a phased renovation to Wootton as a holding school, why not do it with the current population?”

“New admin building cost: "$85-350M."

"Our house values will go way down if we lose the neighborhood high school."

My solution: We should look at a phased, in place, renovation using a P3 – Public Private partnership contracting strategy where the compensation of the private partner is tied to the success of the project.

My name is Reardon Sullivan, and I support keeping Wooten Wooten. I need your help to bring common sense and accountability back to Montgomery County.

The political partisans have it down pat. Always run against the top person. They make millions in the US and other democracies selling programs on how to run for office and win. Being elected brings power, control and notoriety – and folks all over the world want that.

You’ll see here in MoCo that all the incumbent Democrats are running against President Trump. From Governor to Congress to County Exec and Council as well as State government, they use Trump as the bad guy, and promise to oppose him at every opportunity. (Did it work in Virginia? You be the judge.) Yep, although Trump’s not on the ballot, Trump is on the ballot, put there by the Democrats.

But of course he's not really on the ballot. What we need is leadership in MoCo. Don’t be distracted. Tax and spend, choose far left over normal, make sure one-party rule with no divergence is almost mandatory – this is what the Socialist Democrats are promising you - more of the same. We have a better way.

How about some TRUE diversity? I’m proud to say we’ve got a great team running for MoCo leadership. The County Executive and County Council contests are chock-a-block full of super qualified leaders. We have fighters for prosperity, freedom and true democracy. Many are legal immigrants who became great American citizens, built lives and businesses and families and are ready to give back to this great county with public service. …and they’re NOT CAREER POLITICIANS! Others are business leaders, hard workers, some former government workers as many in MoCo are, ready to use their experience in this great spot next to DC. And some, like Reagan and Trump, are former Democrats. We welcome them all.
