SMH.

NOVA NIMBY is strong. The Reston casino didn't fare any better

Such a dramatic twist and the photo of her lurking watching the press conference was amazing.

Lucky development for Bowser? Or will there be another surprise twist?

No one wants your stupid plan, Glen. Suck it.

So glad someone was able to put the brakes on this stupidity. Finally!

Give me a good development plan that doesn't burden taxpayers and residents, and I'm all for it in my backyard. This was none of those things, and a terrible plan by two stupid selfish and entitled people. Supported by a few other bipartisan morons.

Good luck getting toll relief in Hampton Roads, Senator Lucas. Youngkin is primed to line item veto anything she cares about. Her constituents will suffer due to her unprofessional leadership.

Hampton Roads is used to getting screwed. Blocking this benefits the entire state. Any anyway, Youngkin, any R for that matter, is toast in a year. Sen Lucas will be fine.

Unprofessional is Leonsis waiting until yesterday to meet with her. That showed a total lack of respect or understanding of Virginia politics.

Would have provided a boost to economy and a lot of new housing. I guess you’re against housing?

Housing? At Potomac Yard? Are you at all familiar with the area?

Potomac Yards was a terrible location transportation-wise. I just hope that DC's politicians appreciate that they have dodged a bullet, don't get cocky about retaining Monumental, and listen to Monumental's legitimate complaints about out of control crime in DC. Both Monumental and DC need to come to a reasonable deal now, as they both need each other.
