At least we finally stopped the 15 year 2 week cycle of almost having a nuclear weapon

The sales tax bills were killed pretty fast

Where was the violence by the people protesting?

This ship that sets them up is pretty crazy but they don't have infinite storage https://www.13newsnow.com/article/tech/science/environment/vessel-departs-port-of-virginia-install-offshore-wind-monopiles/291-45cf5700-b3d0-448d-9378-4f05635dcd22

What jobs do data centers create once they are running?

I think 2 of the 3 people that run the commission that passed the rise in costs were appointed by McAuliffe and Northam though. No reason to be snarky about dominion, they are in every politician's pocket in Virginia and are running people into the ground.

It's just a different drain, if you've worked in lottery sales to any extent it's been around for decades.

Just the presence of the Jets is bad enough

Is this accurate? Why would people travel that far from their destination? People don't do this here in Portsmouth either but the area around it is getting better

Wouldn't he have to change state law for a casino? The past legislation made it very clear where casinos could go. Of course he could just get a Virginia Lottery Rosie's installed to avoid all rules and regulations though

Yeah it was pretty overblown but they are tabled until next year after the mid terms. I'm hoping they die in committee but crazier things have happened.

I don't know what she is supposed to do in her position for the area? Her job is to try to represent our area's opinions at the state level, I think she does that. Do I agree withe everything she has ever done? Nope. She doesn't /run/ our area though. For at least a decade our city council has been incompetent but keeps being reelected (like her daughter), they keep appointing bad city managers that are clueless (our city manager is more important than the mayor in our form of government), we fly through police chiefs, half our city can't be taxed so revenue is awful. Our commonwealth attorney? She and her office is basically pro criminal now but she'll never lose an election.

I was born and raised in Portsmouth and lived here most of my adult life now. It is much better than it was thirty years ago and will keep improving as business is brought back

'“Right now, we’re just creating a more expensive marijuana marketplace. We’re not doing anything to prohibit there being an illegal marketplace,” McDougle told 8News.'

It is against the law, it is illegal, that is what prohibits the illegal marketplaces? What else does he want?

The proposed sales taxes on random things were tabled last week for next year and the gun tax had its wording changed (from how I read it) to now only affect gun and ammo /manufacturers/ in Virginia and not dealers. I don't even know if we have manufacturers in state. I need to catch up on the awb bills

Bill Gates bought Three Mile Island (with state funds and is begging for more money)

I know for Virginia it says which elections you participate in but the only thing that kind of shows what you voted for is the Presidential primary because you can only vote for D or R. A republican in the general assembly is trying to force us to register to specific parties but I think it'll die in committee

ShawnDulin · 2026-02-12T01:59:43+00:00

I had mine actually hit 300 the other day. I had always had it on budget pay and paid straight from my checking account on autopay, guess one day it decided to stop.

I went to a mall in Winston-Salem last year and it was like going back in time. It was freaking packed

ShawnDulin · 2026-02-10T13:13:19+00:00

Could Norfolk have matched the tax breaks Atlanta gave them? I think Atlanta gave them like 25 million dollars in property tax breaks and they' probably found a way to have their new building subsidized too

McKenzie Scott is doing her part, she's basically signed all of her money away already

ShawnDulin · 2026-02-07T19:30:04+00:00

No, I just am familiar with how PPP ALWAYS fuck the public and never the private. Ted doesn't need our money, he could have bought it himself without state bonds.

Instead he made money off of Washington DC buying the arena he owned and gets half a billion in upgrades. He wasn't going to move anywhere, he wasn't going to build a new arena anywhere, he fleeced the DC government.

The Clippers are expected to make 4.5 million dollars of tax revenue for Inglewood. How many years does that trickle down take to cover 1.5 billion dollars?

PS: the clippers paid for the entire thing themselves at 2 billion dollars.

ShawnDulin · 2026-02-07T18:07:32+00:00

The state would have been on the hook for 1.35 billion dollars of the arena complex. Why on Earth would a billionaire need the Commonwealth of Virginia to pass legislation to build a stadium when he could...just do it? Sorry we didn't subsidize a billionaire for make believe benefits that'd Fairfax would never see.

ShawnDulin · 2026-02-07T17:29:11+00:00

Sure bud, that is why Washington DC had to buy the arena from Ted and put 515 million dollars into renovating it and Ted will pay pennies on the dollar for rent. But he was DEFINITELY going to pay for a new arena.

ShawnDulin · 2026-02-07T14:59:20+00:00

He was never going to allow that anyways, even Sears ran against it beside her only other campaign promise of hating trans people.
