July 10th County Board Meeting - Christmas in July for EFC Developers

Hello, Yupette,

What is Zimmerman's East Falls Church redevelopment scheme all about? It's Christmas in July for the County Board's pet developers who will receive hundreds of millions of dollars in proffers, bonus density, and tax shelters for building another Clarendon. It's another ego trip for mega-development maniac Chris Zimmerman. It's another dumb growth redevelopment that only a Yuptard could love - and they do. How much more of this dumb growth do we have to endure?

July 10th County Board Meeting to be "Christmas in July" for CB's Pet People, Projects

Hi, Yupette,

Can we have a thread about the upcoming "Christmas in July" County Board meeting and all the tax $$$$$ the County Board that was so fiscally challenged six months ago is going to hand out to its favorite people in return for votes?

County Board's "Christmas in July" Agenda Includes Heavily Arming Arlington Police and Deputies

Hello Yupette,

I read the County Board's "Christmas in July" agenda for the July 10th meeting and was appalled to see they are using law enforcement grants from the Justice Department to heavily arm the police and sheriff's deputies. This in a county that in the last 6 months has had 2 unsolved murders and 2 incidents where homeless persons died after altercations with the Arlington police, none of these persons was armed. Why do the police have to carry even more powerful handguns than they already carry? Why do sheriff's deputies have to carry assault rifles? What is going on in this County?

Rolling Thunder Terrorists Are Back

Yupette, the f-ing Rolling Thunder terrorists are back this weekend. Doing a sequel to their Memorial Day psywar operation against local Patriots - active duty military, reserve military, and defense workers who Rolling Thunder and their facilitators, the Neo-Cons, Freepers, motorcycle gangs, KKK, etc., deem to be among the inhabitants of a "socialist republic". If you live on or near a major interstate or arterial, be aware that these a-holes are going to try to make this July 4th weekend into Daytona Bike Week.

County Allows Gentrification Contractor Dumping at Pike Recycling Site

Hello Yupette,

Have you visited the recycling site on Columbia Pike at Four Mile Run on weekends recently? The County is allowing contractors who are working on gentrification projects to dump debris at the recycling site, including mixed with the recycled cans and bottles. Sunday I saw that some group that had a large picnic dumped about 20 large bags of food waste off at the site. Disgusting. This is in Chris Zimmerman's neighborhood and when I asked the County Manager's office what could be done they said "We're working on it".

CIP Takes from Middle Class to Fund Pet In-fill Gentrification Projects

Hi Yupette,

Seen the County's new Capital Improvement Program? It's a blatant rip off of the middle class to fund the County Board's pet Gentrification projects. Like the mess Zimmerman wants to build at the EFC Metro Station that only a Yuptard could love.
