HRT to extort $250,000 from Virginia Beach Taxpayers PDF Print E-mail

Shucet

VIRGINIA BEACH - - How long have we been saying it:  Virginia Beach citizens are going to get stuck helping pay off Norfolk's debt for the corrupt Light Rail project.


That buzzard is coming home to roost as new HRT chief Phil Shucet comes to Virginia Beach council to extort $250,000 to pay for part of the light rail study - Virginia Beach was never involved in.

Reid Greenmun the Virginia Beach Taxpayer Alliance's transportation guru said, this is clearly an issue of extortion.  Virginia Beach had always been told that the study would be paid for by federal and state grants.

Even Councilman John Uhrin and member of HRT's board, said under the corrupt management of X-CEO Michael Townes, "…we were told we had the money to complete the study."

Activities involving the light rail project are clearly criminal:  The cost jumping $108 MILLION in 1 year without the board even knowing about it?  Impossible.  Or criminal.

VIRGINIA BEACH -- An incredible 125 members of almost a dozen separate citizen activist organizations from all parts of Tidewater braved the foulest of weather Saturday to find ways to use each group's assets to further responsible, citizen-oriented government, locally, at the state and federal levels.

The meeting was arranged by Robert Dean, the newly elected chairman of the Tidewater Libertarian Party (TLP).  The number showing up on a snowy, cold Saturday morning, Dean said, was remarkable.

The final basic decision to come out of the nearly 2-hour meeting at Atlantic Bread Co. was that the chairs of each group would meet monthly.

QUOTES OF THE DAY

"Your love of liberty -- your respect for the laws -- your habits of industry -- and your practice of the moral and religious obligations, are the strongest claims to national and individual happiness."

-George Washington, the residents of Boston, 1789-

"Nothing is more certain than that a general profligacy and corruption of manners make a people ripe for destruction. A good form of government may hold the rotten materials together for some time, but beyond a certain pitch, even the best constitution will be ineffectual, and slavery must ensue."

-John Witherspoon, The Dominion of Providence Over the Passions of Men, 1776-

"The public cannot be too curious concerning the characters of public men."

-Samuel Adams, letter to James Warren, 1775-

"It is the manners and spirit of a people which preserve a republic in vigor. A degeneracy in these is a canker which soon eats to the heart of its laws and constitution."

-Thomas Jefferson, Notes on Virginia Query 19, 1781-
