Arlington Would Lose AAA Bond Rating With Garvey on Board, Quality of Life With Kelly on Board


Hello,

Have you seen the commercial real estate news? Area economy is slowing because of federal government cutbacks, higher energy costs, freeze in federal workforce's salaries. In-fill redevelopment is being put on hold, for example Akridge's plans to redevelop 500 N. Washington Street in Falls Church.

Libby Garvey's made so many promises to parents for new schools, together with her tacit endorsement of the County Board's pet vanity projects, that Arlington would surely lose its AAA bond rating if she were elected.

Mark Kelly is fiscally conservative all right, except when it comes to his friends the developers, who he would encourage to totally urbanize Arlington with a huge helping of taxpayer-funded subsidies.

Electing Kelly or Garvey to the County Board would be a lose-lose for Arlington residents. Each is committed to their respective ideology - Lexus Liberalism and Tea Party Conservatism.

In candidate debate after candidate debate Audrey Clement proved herself to be the candidate who would serve the best interests of Arlington residents, not the unrestrained social welfare and corporate welfare interests.

We urge Arlington voters to elect Audrey Clement tomorrow. You can vote at your usual polling place from 6 AM to 7 PM.

Yes, Audrey Clement is the best candidate. She's committed to us, not to a variety of special interests who continually demand more tax dollars to further agendas that benefit themselves.

With Garvey or Kelly on the County Board our lives would be totally ruined by non-residents who make too many planning and development decisions already.

County will lose its AAA bond rating whether Kelly or Garvey were to be elected tomorrow. The bloated economic development and planning bureaucracies will have to give away so much corporate welfare to entice companies to locate here it will make the corporate welfare gifts to Boeing and Vornado look like chump change.

Isn't Civic Federation Revenues and Expenditures Guru Wayne Kubicki employed by Akridge?

Mark Kelly's top contributor is a developer.

Garvey's commitments to parents for new recreation-sports-community-education centers will lower the County's bond rating to AA all by itself.

So if Finance Guru Wayne Kubicki can't obtain a Smart Growth mega-development deal for his employer, what does that mean for the future of Smart Growth mega-development?

Gas prices just went up another nickel.

Mark Kelly is a puppet for neo-con ideologues and developer pirates. Check out who his contributors are.

According to this week's FC News-Press, the FC City Council gave a green light to Akridge for whatever Chip wanted to develop at 500 Washington Street.

So if Guru Wayne couldn't make the financial planets align for Chip Akridge developing 500 Washington Blvd., we are in a serious mess?
