The Sustainability trap: Albemarle, Charlottesville, and TJPDC’s million dollar assault on individual liberties
The Charlottesville–Albemarle 1998 Sustainability Accords are a radical document. Composed and promoted by radical elements of the local enviro-socialist movement and closely aligned with the ICLEI / United Nations / Agenda 21 Sustainability goals, the Accords are a direct threat to individual liberty. The United States Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) has committed—and [...]
Infill-tration: Charlottesville Democrats organizing to undermine Albemarle County property rights
Charlottesville Democrats are organizing a visit to the June 8, 2011 Albemarle County Board of Supervisors meeting in order to promote the dangerous United Nations “sustainability agenda”—not for themselves, but for Albemarle County!

Buy Local #2: Charlottesville City pursues North Carolina sculpture purchase while urging citizens to buy “local” art
It’s an apparent case of déjà vu all over again as Charlottesville city government has been caught afresh violating another of its own preposterous edicts. In December of last year, Charlottesville Mayor Dave Norris publicly endorsed a frivolous city-backed initiative entitled, “Buy Art Give Art Charlottesville,” which was based on a similar program in Providence, [...]
Box of rocks: Democrat Szakos damns nTelos with faint condemnation
In an astonishing moment of abject arrogance Charlottesville City Councilor, Kristen Szakos (aka the Moat Monster), has openly vilified—from a highly visible public platform—a local business engaged in pursuing financial success.

Desperately Seeking Satyendra: Charlottesville Democrats panic over racial city council conundrum
The Charlottesville Democratic Committee (CDC) has woven a tangled web in its decades old “secret” representation agreement with the city’s black community, and now their chickens are coming home to roost.

Boom goes bust: Local officials sidestep IMPACT’s Charlottesville Inquisition
The Interfaith Movement Promoting Action by Congregations Together (IMPACT)—a political offshoot of the infamous “community organizing” group, ACORN—held their annual Nehemiah Action last evening at the University of Virginia’s University Hall. The gathering is an embarrassing interfaith convocation of local deists, “Christians,” Jews, and Muslims who together advocate for a melding of church (mosque, temple) [...]

Democrats elected and appointed to government positions in Charlottesville are known for being corrupt. That is no surprise to any astute political observer.

To the recipients of such bounty, especially, [...]
Rosey’s risky tax scheme: Charlottesville Assessor employs deception, intimidation to thwart real estate assessment appeals
With the local real estate market in the midst of a multi-year freefall and local housing prices reflecting the ongoing tumble, Charlottesville Assessor, Roosevelt Barbour, Jr., recently issued utterly inconceivable figures indicating that Charlottesville residential property values had declined by only .14% from the previous year. Although Barbour reluctantly disclosed that his office does not [...]
Crying wolf: “Destitute” Albemarle and Charlottesville schools blowing cash on gratuitous technology?
Albemarle County Public Schools (ACPS) and Charlottesville City Schools (CCS) have commenced their annual “sky is falling” budget charade in order to wrangle increased funding from their respective governing bodies and garner (unmerited) public sympathy. In a January 6, 2011 Daily Progress story on CCS’s purportedly waning finances, Charlottesville School Board member, Juandiego Wade agonized: [...]
