DROP talk on Radio Times

DROP talk on Radio Times
No, CP and Ralph Cipriano don't really get the fawning mad props and bouquet of flowers we think we deserved in Radio Times' piece on the DROP program this morning, but hey, we're glad people are still talking about it (and confident knowing that until we dropped Cipriano's "Billion Dollar Boondoggle" in April, nobody was even thinking about talking about it). Guest host Tracey Matisak had the Inky's Jeff Shields and Miriam Hill and Committe of 70's Sean Scully on this morning to discuss the political hot potato in the wake of Boston College's long-awaited DROP study (read it here). Particularly entertaining is the Scully's response to Council's call for more studies: "How much more do we [study] this?" Speaking of studies, Cipriano will have a piece in tomorrow's paper (on the site later today) in which he fills in the gap between BC's $258 million price tag and his $1 billion.
I would suggest that someone take a closer look at Ralph's piece, which ran earlier this week in the Inquirer. He doesn't quite get DROP and his math is wrong.
"until we dropped Cipriano's "Billion Dollar Boondoggle" in April, nobody was even thinking about talking about it"? I'll give credit where credit is due - and Cipriano's piece was excellent - but DROP was all over the papers this spring, well before the piece came out.
