That’s never happened to me, how about you? I believe that was a first fishing experience.
Is it Time to Drop the Invocation before the BOCS Meetings?
HENRICO, Va. —
The Henrico County Board of Supervisors has dropped the traditional prayer before its meetings.
At a June 12 meeting, the board took up the appeal of an approved plan of development for a mosque on Hungary Road. With dozens of Muslims in the packed meeting room, the Rev. Tommy Knighten, associate pastor for children and families at Staples Mill Road Baptist Church, delivered the invocation, closing with “in Christ’s name I pray.”
The next day, County Manager Virgil R. Hazelett received an email saying that such a prayer “at a government meeting that is set to determine the fate of a Muslim religious center serves no other purpose than to create an atmosphere of hostility.”
County Attorney Joseph P. Rapisarda Jr. declined to release the name of the email’s author.
The email went on to say, “It would sadden me greatly if I were to learn that Henrico County viewed me as less important due to my lack of membership in the ‘right’ group” and asked the board to stop having prayers at its meetings.
Who wants 20 thousand more people living in the Linton Hall Corrider?
Allow me to answer my own question……NOT ME!
Some of you may, or may not remember the infamous “Brentswood” proposal a few years back. Like the outer beltway, whose path remains the same, but name changes, “Brentswood” has now morphed into Stonehaven.
So here was the promise by Developers, “we’ll front you the money for the 66 improvements, including the 29 overpass, if you let us build SEVEN THOUSAND homes on the Atlantic Research property.” Yet, the Developer wasn’t even going to proffer the money themselves, they were going to make citizens pay for the improvements while they pocketed the profits!
Congress continues to waste time
The Congressional Research Service estimates the repeals have cost over $50 million. So much for stopping spending.
This has been the 33rd vote to repeal all or part of the ACA.
Congress, you are wasting our time and our money. You need to fund the government and you need to make sure the tax rate doesn’t expire on the middle class. You have done nothing about the jobs you promised us before the 2010 midterm elections.
Stand and deliver. You have 42 more days to get it all done this year. That isn’t much time.
