Too bad they didn't turn over all of the documents and pictures to UVA's Special Collections so that the public could eventually have access. Yep, must be some Democratic Party dirt they're hiding. They would gladly make it public if it made Republicans look bad. I’m sure they’re hiding something.

What if they wax poetically on the importance of historic preservation while blocking the release of historical archives. <a href="http://super-blair.blogspot.com/2006/11/council-refuses-to-release-urban.html" rel="nofollow">Council refuses to release urban renewal archives, Nov. 21, 2006</a>. What has this former urban renewal chairman done to get this data published and made available for research projects? Nothing. Just this week I had an email request from a high school teacher for documents of the Vinegar Hill project. Whatever's in these archives must be more shocking than even I imagine. The best course of action is to be civil and persistent, and tell as many people as I can the truth about Dave. Mr. Mayor, why are you (and your staff) still suppressing our history after 5 years of petitions and chronicling? What's in these 6,000+ documents and 1,000+ photos that you don't want us to see? But you want our vote, right? What if they say they satisfied your request BUT they haven’t?

I just love it when he tries to take the morally-high-road tone steaming with indignation. I can imagine his swelling up like a tick. He particularly swells up when he's criticized for giving a bunch of tax money indiscriminately to groups of anonymous people in the form of welfare. I'm sure the emailer's criticism doesn't match that in scathing to that Norrishood dished out to the lady who ran public housing several years ago even though she had the last passing evaluation from HUD that the housing authority has received in years. And that's with Norrishood serving on the authority's board. He certainly didn't praise that lady's hard work. Dave Norris has always had disdain for those he does not agree with.

As I read I heard (read) patience from a citizen that went on for over 7 months and Norris decides to "malign" (your word Dave) someone who was trying to solve a problem and get answers. This is Charlottesville and and has been for many years. "The teabagger crowd"? Very well done Norris! Almost childish. Maybe I'll go through your emails and pull out all the stupid things you have said. You left a good paper trail here and not once were any emails sent to you as attacking as yours were.

We are only reading one side of this email exchange. Granted, almost no matter what, Dave should always be nice to "his people". I am actually wondering what this is about... "I realize that government-bashing is all the fashion these days among the teabagger crowd, but to malign Ms. Alexander the way you did, even after she repeatedly demonstrated to you that your concern was being addressd, is beyond the pale and I will not apologize at all for what I wrote." The last thing I want to do is align myself with the mayor or council but seeing the whole email exchange makes sense.
