Omar officially lost me when he said during the recent Foster School pause discussion, "We should've had this meeting a month ago." Really? No one thought that pausing the school might be a good idea until right after they started building it? I think many of us predicted this whole scenario--- they would start building and say it is too late to cancel.

Just for clarity, I believe that specific comment was in regards to how he requested that meeting in September. If you watched it, it seemed evident most of the group was kind of like "why are we even here", as illustrated by DT referring to it as a detour. The calls for a pause undoubtedly kicked up a bunch after the meeting where they announced the projected $13m deficit and Grossi mentioned state takeover.
I think you are right that they essentially have tried to slow play this all along instead of the transparency of "we know we can barely afford this, and we know it flies in the face of the looming financial crisis, but it is enough of a priority that we're willing to cut A, B, and C to see this through."
