As long as it stays in NoVa, I am fine.

Kinda funny that Northam was not the Dem’s ordained candidate. They got stuck with him.

A few years ago, Joyce Bennett, a descendant of the original settlers of Maryland, wrote a book outlining the cleansing of the formerly Southern culture of her native state. Some decades later, the same influences are “Yankeefying” the Old Dominion.

This is also a matter of the Swamp striking back. Keep in mind that Northern Virginia has many private entities dependent on Federal contracts. Trump and his allies threaten that setup, so it isn’t just those directly on the payroll that are unhappy. In addition, the most conservative Virginians were unenthusiastic about Gillespie. This was payback for the RINO desertion of Ken Cucinelli a few years ago.

They already have a Regional Tax District setup to give money to the Metro. I assume they will raise that Tax during the next session saying that they are going to use the money to fix I-95 and I-66 then spend that money somewhere else. Because that is what they do.
