Good.  They should be outraged.  The City seems to have known about this in advance and kept quiet due to some confidentiality agreement relating to the construction that isn’t happening.  Well, if there’s an agreement to breach, that’s the one.  This is a signal moment for Alexandria.  [b]Wilson and Silberberg look kinda the same today.[/b]  [/quote]

+3. The way the city went about this completely behind closed doors FOR A YEAR is so messed up. [/quote]

+4 and 5.  It is the same old way of operating.  I would not be surprised if there is cash changing hands.  All of them need to be out:  the Mayor, City Council and the whole City staff.  We need to clean house.  As if the sewage thing wasn't outrageous enough (and heading into summer we're about to be reminded about it on a daily basis with the stench) but now with the Potomac Yard Metro thing … no one could be that grossly incompetent.  Could they?  I think the Council members are so happy to have their Council jobs and their side businesses that feed off of their Council work that they have forgotten what they are supposed to do as Council members.[/quote]

You do realize the stench actually comes from the blue plains sewage treatment facility across the river?[/quote]

Actually, no, in that area it doesn't.  By the waterfront, certainly, but in that area it can be followed almost directly to our lovely plant.  If you don't believe me, test it out and see.  When the stench is in bloom, go to parts of Russell and then also over by Alfred Street.  Follow your nose.  You'll find that I'm right![/quote]
