Hi Yupette,
The Democratic Machine hosted a big campaign fundraiser and organizational meeting yesterday for Libby Garvey (who claims she will be an "independent voice" on the all-Democratic County Board).
Libby was having a good old time with her ACDC pals at Mary's home and is hard to see how she would be independent of Zimmerman. So look for more of the same if she's elected.

If you go to allianceforhousing solutions.org and click on 'News' you can see where the County Board candidates stand on affordable housing. Unlike her opponents, Libby Garvey is for more talk, discussion, committees, etc. That is the classic County Board position.
Libby Garvey is a liar and a rumor-monger.
You mean Mary 'Where's the Party?' Hynes?
Why does Libby keep telling everyone that she was responsible for expediting a new Wakefield HS? It was really Zimmerman who pushed the project. He wanted state-of-the-art "sports and recreation recreation opportunities".
Wakefield has been a mess for the past 25 years. Wakefield only looks as good as it does academically because so many poorly performing students drop out.
Mary Hynes was supposed to be a change in the County Board's direction. Look what has happened.
Do you think they will actually be dumb enough to bring friends and family here to vote as they did for their caucus?
Notice the media are again shills for the status quo.
Garvey and the School Board are again preparing to buy more trailer classrooms. Best managed school districts are building modular classrooms.
Libby Garvey refers proposals, problems, decision making, and so on to a bloated school system staff and consultants. It's called "Paralysis through Analysis".
Libby Garvey was, is, and always will be part of the problem, not part of the solution.
Any significant pressure on Arlington's schools to make improvements has come from SOLs and NCLB, not the school board.
Yes, Zimmerman packed the Wakefield HS so-called "citizen advisory committee" with his loyalists aka ward heelers to insure the design priorities would be sports and recreation.
With only two serious candidates (Garvey and Fallon) and three complete clowns, the people who voter had little choice.
If elected Libby Garvey will join a County Board that's anti-learning. Look at the planetarium fiasco. Zimmerman's wife works for NASA, and the biggest thing at NASA these days is planetary research. So why did parents have to come up with the $$$ to save the planetarium?
Wild guess...because all the spare cash is being spent on sports and recreation?
It's time for a change. I'm voting for Audrey Clement on March 27th. See what she will do on the County Board. We can always vote for someone else in November.
Mary Hynes and Libby Garvey have a lot in common. Poor performance on the School Board. Don't care about quality-of-life deteriorating in their own neighborhoods. All talk, little action.
Libby Garvey and her elitist friends have made starting malicious rumors about anyone who doesn't share Libby's 'vision' into an art form.
