Fun fact: the original drawings for the fifth ward school, done by an external consultant before it landed on Horton's desk included a fieldhouse as part of Fleetwood-Jourdain that would be rentable as a revenue source on weekends. It was actually one of the things that made the finances work. By Aug 2021, Horton completely threw that out of the designs and instead just elected to cite the $3m bus savings.

I know you're a fifth ward resident and it probably would've been nice to have a brand new field house...

I would rather have none of it and no major hole in my pocket. But yeah, we need something to air bnb to pay for this.

Hey guys just a heads up - I might delete these two posts (not trying to piss you off!) but I don't like having individuals named without having specific evidence presented and a chance for the individual to rebut.

You can’t delete our emotional labor or silence us, Tom. We need to speak our truths. (I was just reminded I should have written that IN ALL CAPS.)
