Well, anyway, speaking in NIMBY, this is about 3 miles from my house, and I'd much rather it be there next to WETA rather than out here where so many of those guys live.

It's not often I thank the Arlington County board for anything, but they did right in this one.

In the best of worlds it wouldn't be built period.

"This is not going to be a good solution," Rockefeller said. "It would absolutely complicate our lives."...

Heavens no!

At least the day laborers earn their money. They don't siphon it at gun point from people who don't care to give it to them. Unlike yourself, Sharon.

LOL!

[Starboard]

high-profile liberal guests who arrive via limousine to be obsequiously interviewed on the "NewsHour," public broadcasting's signature news program focused on Democratic talking points that is produced from WETA's tax payer subsidized studios in Shirlington.

DEFUND PBS.

Typical of these "give-em-all-a-big-sloppy-kiss" people who live in gated communities and ride in armor plated SUV's: they don't have to deal with the problems associated with unrestricted immigration.

Unbelievable! Public Broadcasting is a shill for the leftwing agenda...and they protest about being near some illegal Mexicans (which they no-doubt have called UNDOCUMENTED people in their broadcasts)?

Click HERE to tell them how two-faced they are being!

[syriacus]

will also inconvenience high-profile guests who arrive to be interviewed on the "NewsHour"..

They should take a hint from WJC.

Clinton doesn't seem to mind strolling through crowds.

This is a bit off the subject but is this the same Sharon Percy who's twin sister was murdered in their home while everyone slept? Her father was a U.S. senator,I think.

Sharon Percy Rockefeller
Her father was Charles Percy, of Illinois.

Crime and Justice Tipline (Valerie Percy Murder)

A little distance down the page, there is a timeline of the events surrounding her murder in Kenilworth, IL.

The Arlington County Board's decision to build a $100,000 pavilion to house day laborers waiting for work may have severely ruptured relations with one of the county's most prominent employers.

What a waste of taxpayer money. What, are there no Home Depots in town?

Notice, in the story, they authorized spending up to $140,000!

Obviously the job will require prevailing wage, and then there are all of the bribes to pay.

"This is not going to be a good solution," Rockefeller said. "It would absolutely complicate our lives."

Better put some ice on that, you NIMBY aristocrat.

[WorkingClassFilth]

PING!

Or Barbara Streisand and the rich Malibu elite not wanting the hoi polloi to have beach access anywhere near their property.

[fight_truth_decay]

they authorized spending up to $140,000! and another story reported $30,000 a year to maintain.

[Mears]

THanks all,a very frightening case if I recall.

[Tamzee]

My, how terrible... that anyone can think of complicating the cushy life of a Rockefeller.

Further proof that America is the Great Satan, right? ;-)
