John Vihstadt for Arlington County Board



A.Y. endorses John Vihstadt for re-election to the Arlington County Board.

In the six months John Vihstadt's been on the County Board there have been significant positive changes for the better in Arlington's quality of life.

The out-of-control pub crawls have been controlled. Big ticket vanity projects that were never scrutinized are being scrutinized. Spending priorities have been reversed. Basic infrastructure needs that were ignored for years - like street paving - have priority. For the first time in more than a decade someone on the County board is asking questions like 'Can we afford this?'.

As for Alan Howze, he and other Arlington Democrats are, de facto, 21st Century Rockefeller Republicans. Same tax-borrow-spend for huge vanity projects while government, corporations, and non-profits move away because taxes and the costs involved in maintaining office space here and/or doing business here are too high. We really can't afford Alan Howze and other Zimmerman Democrats on the County Board.

Another clear choice for Arlington taxpayers and voters - John Vihstadt for County Board.

Alan Howze has promised the Hipsters he's going to 'deregulate the pub crawls'.

Just what we need, a 4 mile-long Hipster riot all along the B-R corridor every holiday weekend.

I'm 72 years old. Grew up in New York when Rocky was Governor. Yes, these so-called 'Democrats' are a bunch of stinking Rockefeller Republicans. Tax you to death...watch the corporations leave 'cause it's too expensive to do business.

Pike $treetcar will cost $600 million...to benefit whom? Out-of-state REITs and developers, consultants, and their lawyers who live and work in Fairfax County.

Arlington Democratic Party? No it's the Arlington Plutocratic Party. Arlington Democrats spend their time in office enriching themselves, their corporate cronies, and their good buds who run the for-profit non-profits.

Bottom line --- we can't afford Alan Howze to be elected to the County Board.

Economic Development in Arlington under the Democratic Regime? Alan Howze works for IBM which never in the past 30 years had an employee whose job IBM didn't want to export to the Third World.

We are Young Democrats who are voting for John Vihstadt. We have a 2-year old daughter and we need every dollar I can save for her college education, which will be VERY expensive. I'm still paying off student loans for my own college education, so is my wife.

We also need to save for a real home for our daughter, not an expensive 2-bedroom condo where we are living now.

We don't need to pay another dime for more Zimmerman-era extravagances, like a Pike streetcar.

Please consider the needs of the next generations of Arlingtonians before you vote tomorrow.

Why is Arlington County overspending on extravagant schools?

I am voting against Libby Garvey in this election. Her opposition to the Pike streetcar is totally contrary to the interests of the Arlington Democratic Party.

Another YD voting for JV....we are being taxed to death to pay for the Democrats' extravagances ranging from a Taj Mahal aquatic center to boutique school parking lots bulldozed out of forested areas and playgrounds.

Arlington Democratic Party is a bunch of corrupt cronies who are out to wheel, deal, and steal every dollar they can out of the taxpayers.

Go Libby !!! Keep giving those slimey plutocrats s---.

Alan Howze -- Endorsed by the YD bar flies at A-Town.

Alan Howze is another Zimmerman puppet, like Walter Tejada and Melissa Bondi.

If Alan Howze were a real Democrat he wouldn't be working for IBM.

I need the money the Democrats are taxing us to pay for their extravagances for my kids' education instead.

no party said...

It's the Plutocratic Party...from Obama on down. They put the Republicans to shame.

Add up how much Mark Warner, Tim Kaine and Don Beyer together are worth -- at least $1 billion.

What do you think Don Beyer's going to do in Congress? Be the go-to guy for his fellow auto dealers.

Google "IBM Employees"

Why would anyone want to work for this company?

IBM, where Howze is employed, is run by a bunch of neo-con misers who care nothing about their employees.

Anonymous said...

Did anyone in the media ever ask Alan what he actually does at IBM? Like outsource jobs to the Third World?

Mark Warner, Tim Kaine, Don Beyer, and Jay Fisette should form a corporation to build and operate the Pike streetcar.

Bet you a beer the Trolley Pub rolls in Westover if Howze wins.

Hipsters for Howze said...

Waaaa....Waaaa....We want a 'wet' Trolley Pub
