		<description><![CDATA[Ultimately, Ms. Burt, what I don&#039;t like is that Ms. Nadel is looting public coffers for a project that seems to be heavily motivated by her desire for a legacy.  If Ms. Nadel was a deft fundraiser, and if this project had a coherent vision, she would be able to raise private funds.

Sean Sullivan raised over 5 million dollars of private funds for a teen center in Jack London Square.  I believe he was being paid less than 100k a year at the time.  If Ms. Nadel took $100k of her paygo money and hired a full time fundraiser for district 3, she would be able to leave taxpayer money alone.

By the way, why all the praise on your blog for Nadel projects that have lots of vocal online critics?  It&#039;s almost one for one.

Nadel backs Mandela foods.  Mandela foods lags pathetically.  People complain.  Nadel is embarrassed.  Cecily puts up a positive post.

Nadel makes chocolates and calls it a business.  200 chocolates, one day a week, even if sold at $2 a piece would gross $400 bucks.  After costs, this is a hobby, not a business.  Cecily prints a positive story.

CDBG meeting proves to be an epic fiasco for Nadel.  Humiliating.  Caught on tape.  Cecily prints a story which dumbs down the abject failure of leadership at that meeting and focuses on a teen center project, with a decidedly pro-Nadel spin.

Can we expect more of the same?  For how long?]]></description>
