Slutzky backpedals on taxes

Does anyone know if Thomas supports getting the dredging surveys and the cost of dredging the Rivanna Reservoir before proceeding with the 200 million dollar concepts of RWSA for the water supply.

I would think if Thomas is a fiscal conservative he would care about getting accurate cost information before raising the RWSA debt by another $200 million. Apparently, Slutsky doesn't give a d** since he didn't get his 90cents tax increase guess he's going to sock it to the urban water and sewer ratepayers.

How would he know it's the cheapest alternative if we have no idea what it will cost ?

this just goes to show how we can make words and names meaningless. "fiscal conservative" apparently means spending an unknown amount of money to create water storage capacity far greater than we currently need in order to encourage population growth most of us don't want because a small capital-rich portion of our business community that subscribes to the spectacularly failed "continuous expansion" economic theory wants to keep trying to get rich(er) quick while destroying the quality of life for the majority of the community. we have moved so far from common sense and sanity that people still talk about this nonsense as if those who disagree just don't understand all the "complicated" factors. horsefeathers. keep it simple stupid. haven't we had enough of all the clever "solutions" proposed by the greedy and the "emperors new clothes" support offered by their sycophantic and insecure admirers? economies are created by the interactions of people as they make their way in the world. they have been highjacked for personal gain by those who would have us believe that "the economy" is a force or a law like gravity that we must serve and obey "or else." if we have to pay millions to make a particular industry viable in our area that is a sure sign of government being highjacked by the minority. if we run short of water and people still want to keep moving here then water will cost more and people will use less and development fees will increase and that will slow the demand. we love to claim we are a free market economy, blah blah blah, and yet every time the "invisible hand" makes an appearance we go to extreme lengths to eliminate its influence because we are so confident in our cleverness. yes we are doomed to repeat history because we are the cleverest stupidest people in the world.

Someone should explain why Loophole-Larry Davis,Albemarle's county attorney who lacks common sense, crafted a 5-acre loophole to allow dogs to bark excessively in Albemarle. Who is he protecting with his loophole? The BOS should be embarrassed supporting Loophole-Larry's ordinance without questioning what someone who lives next to someone with more than 5 acres with barking dogs is to do. WHY ARE NOT ALL COUNTY RESIDENCE NOT ENTITLED TO THE SAME NUISANCE BARKING ORDINANCE PROTECTION?

somebody needs to tell Obama the old saying "those who can do, those who can't teach"

The last thing we need at EPA and Homeland security is people who have never had to try and run a business while dealing with federal Regulations.
