by Not Jim Moran on July 31st, 2010 at 3:23 AM
Posted In: Arlington, Arlington change in government, Arlington County Board, CAGW, Jay Fisette, News

I recentlty had  some candid Q and A with Mike Staples, President of the IAFF Local 2800 and Chairman of Better Arlington. He had some telling things to say about the Coalition for Arlington Good Government-Arlington Democrats, as well as the county government as a whole. We talked about some of the actions of the […] ↓ Read the rest of this entry…

Cuccinelli: an “odd” choice for Patrick Murray

by Not Jim Moran on July 28th, 2010 at 9:25 AM
Posted In: 2010 Congressional race, 2010 Congressional Races, Mike Lane, News, Patrick Murray

Well, the commentary is in and it doesn’t look good for Patrick Murray. Many have been questioning the reasoning for bringing Ken Cuccinelli to the  8th District, especially after  looking at these numbers- DISTRICT CANDIDATE VOTE VOTE% STATISTICS DETAILS Congressional 08 Last Reported: Nov 6 2009 3:37PM EST Ken T. Cuccinelli II 61,722 36.38% Precincts […] ↓ Read the rest of this entry…

I meant to give these two a shout-out over the weekend but got distracted. Check these new campaign sites. Spike Williams just launched his website, and Scott Martin just did a major renovation on his. I’ll be getting an interview with Williams soon. I previously interviewed Scott Martin, which can be found here. Click here […] ↓ Read the rest of this entry…

Maybe FCPS should be paying attention to this…

Posted In: Fairfax County, Fairfax County School Board, Liz Bradsher, News

They can start by taking advice from this women. She’s on a mission to reform… Note: I’m not saying fire all of the teachers, but I agree with the point she’s making. Get rid of waste and punish underperformance. In other words, don’t just cut things (like Clifton ES) for the hell of it. Perhaps […] ↓ Read the rest of this entry…

Change in Government opposition gets nasty! (Part 2 of 2)

by Not Jim Moran on July 22nd, 2010 at 2:21 PM
Posted In: 2010 Arlington County Board Race, Arlington change in government, Arlington County Board, Jay Fisette, News

Even though the petition sheets have been submitted, this is still worth looking into. A few days ago, I was reading an Examiner article about the Change in Government. In the article, there was a quote from Board Chairman Jay Fisette. …But Board Chairman Jay Fisette said the proposed changes would open the County Board […] ↓ Read the rest of this entry…

So what have you done to fix the problem?

Posted In: 2010, 2010 Arlington County Board Race, Arlington, Arlington County Board, Chris Zimmerman, Metro, News

Not sure if anyone saw today’s issue of the Express. In it, it had an article on “seat hogs” in Metro. Chris Zimmerman had a nice little quote, in which he said, “I am concerned about there being enough seats; we need more capacity. [Civility] becomes more and more critical as conditions become more and […] ↓ Read the rest of this entry…

Mob Rule in Arlington!

by Not Jim Moran on July 19th, 2010 at 9:57 AM
Posted In: Arlington, Arlington change in government, Arlington County Board, News

Apparently Arlington County wants people harassing people at their homes if they don’t agree with each other. I have found no other reason for posting the petitions online. I can understand having them available at the Courthouse just to verify names, but the County has posted the verified petitions online, including addresses. This means that […] ↓ Read the rest of this entry…

The folks at VA Gentleman and Common Sense have each written good reviews of last night’s fundraiser/kickoff. Patrick Murray gave a great speech to a crowd of around 200 people! Looking ahead, there are some other great upcoming events for Patrick Murray and the 8th District GOP. Check out the two events below – VA-08 […] ↓ Read the rest of this entry…

Help restore fiscal sanity in Arlington!

by Not Jim Moran on July 16th, 2010 at 9:58 AM
Posted In: 2010, 2010 Arlington County Board Race, Arlington, Arlington County Board, Chris Zimmerman, Mark Kelly, News

If anyone follows the antics of the County Board, this probably doesn’t surprise you. While the County Board has no problem approving bond measures that total more than $161 million, they  debated the placement of about 12 sidewalk tables for two businesses in Clarendon. The debate included a stunning 3-2 vote on whether to give one […] ↓ Read the rest of this entry…

Change in Government opposition gets nasty! (Part 1)

by Not Jim Moran on July 15th, 2010 at 12:26 AM
Posted In: 2010 Arlington County Board Race, Arlington, Arlington change in government, Arlington County Board, News

I guess this is what the opposition does when they realize that they are not about to get their way. Despite all of the ruckus and downright dirty politics that the opposition is partaking in, it appears that Better Arlington will turn in more than enough signatures to meet the requirements to meet a November […] ↓ Read the rest of this entry…

Arlington gets bypassed for Falls Church

by Not Jim Moran on July 13th, 2010 at 2:08 PM
Posted In: 2010, Arlington, Arlington change in government, Arlington County Board, Bob McDonnell, Gerry Connolly, News

First our Delegates get horrible business ratings, and now this. In April, Northrop CEO Wes Bush and Virginia Gov. Bob McDonnell announced  that the company had narrowed its headquarters search down to Northern Virginia. Two sites were picked, Falls Church, or Ballston in Arlington. It was announced yesterday that Falls Church had won over Arlington. […] ↓ Read the rest of this entry…

Arlington’s Delegation gets poor business ratings

Posted In: 2010, Arlington, Arlington change in government, Arlington County Board, Bob Brink, Mark Kelly, News, Patrick Hope

This is why now more than ever the change of government proposal is so important. Check out my op-ed from earlier this week on the subject. Virginia FREE, a pro-business coalition, ranked all of the members of the General Assembly on a scale of 0 to 100. The Delegates that represent Arlington did horrible. Del.
