I wouldn't pay $70,000 a year in property taxes if I could avoid it either.

If you are promising to “rebuild schools” you should. But he is an ahole. So there you go.

Why? His kids didn't go to those schools. You use the schools, you pay for them. He's giving $3,000 a year which is the average most homeowners in the area are paying.

Also the annual budget for FCPS is $3 billion. So exactly what is wrong with your schools that they can't function with a budget bigger than a country's GDP?

CRT was NEVER going to be an issue in public schools because it's only offered in college, but he terrified parents with CRT, and they fell for it.

Just look at what Fairfax and Loudoun have passed as changes in the name of equity, and you will see this is false.

McAuliffe supports vaccine mandates- both in school and firing people who don't get vaccinated.

This. And I met someone yesterday who knows him personally and professionally. He had nothing good to say about Youngkin. Thinks he will be a disaster.

What sort of complaints about him did he have?

And he has no government experience. And he made tons of money breaking small businesses and laying people off. I didn’t like reading about his basement church that made the sole one or two black members uncomfortable and have to quit. And I don’t like his campaign lying and saying his 17yo tried to vote twice because he didn’t know he wasn’t eligible.

And he wants to cut taxes while increasing spending?! And he likes banning books. And id he doesn’t veto far right bills from the House (like the transvaginal ultrasound bill the GA passed last time the Rs had control), we will lose our business-friendly environment.

What on earth are you babbling about?

Everything he says he stands for as he campaigns feels like it fully contradicts the person he held himself out to be when I knew him,” said Melanie Dickson, a former vestry member and one of three who said they left the church or vestry over its handling of racial issues, including its initial silence on the death of George Floyd. “We don’t know if we were deceived then or if we’re being deceived now. I don’t know who the real Glenn Youngkin is.”

Why are Republicans so rude and devoid of civility? What an unnecessarily mean response. Here is the quote from the Post article: “Everything he says he stands for as he campaigns feels like it fully contradicts the person he held himself out to be when I knew him,” said Melanie Dickson, a former vestry member and one of three who said they left the church or vestry over its handling of racial issues, including its initial silence on the death of George Floyd. “We don’t know if we were deceived then or if we’re being deceived now.

DP.

A. Calling out Youngkin over HTC is as silly as blaming Obama for the proselytizing of Jeremiah Wright.

B. I sympathize with the George Floyd death and I am extremely heartened to have seen the national media attention on the death. But he died in Minnesota - wtf do you want a church in Virginia to do about it?

C. You also forget to list this quote in the SAME ARTICLE from a friend who graduated from Howard University, is a black D.C. resident, and was a fellow Harvard Business School alumni:

“The Glenn I know is receptive and we’ve had multiple conversations around race,” Godfrey Gill said. “He’s been a great man as long as I’ve known him. He’s consistent. He’s earnest. He’s loving, he’s fair. I leave it to Virginians to assess whether his politics are consistent with theirs.”
