During a December 3 joint meeting of the Albemarle County Board of Supervisors and the Albemarle County School Board, Scottsville District Supervisor, Mike Pruitt, dropped an “F-Bomb” in televised remarks (video time-marker 1:48).
During his preliminaries to the bottommost of public profanity, “Tax-hike Mike”:
- Passionately recounted promising his “priest” and his “church” to spend $10M tax dollars (OPM) on “affordable housing”
- Told of proposing “a lot of cuts” to garner the necessary funds, including “raising” the personal property tax
- Ruefully admits confessing mission-failure to his “priest,” in attempting to extort the aforementioned $10M
- Pretentiously depicts the School Board’s $215M new-school request as “impossible”
- Primes the unsuspecting audience by using “damn” and then “hell” in run-up sentences
Following his long-winded and emotionally delicate discourse, Pruitt concluded his public observations by righteously uttering, “I fucking love to build schools.”
While there was delayed nervous laughter in the room following Pruitt’s tactical gaffe, none of three hapless County staffers framed in the video feed even flinched at the profane interjection. (Which might indicate that they were sleeping at the time….)
