When Hanover Supervisor Elton Wade opened his mouth and declared he was appointing Norm Sulser to the Hanover School Board as a reward for helping him (Wade) get elected (again) to the BOS, a righteous firestorm erupted. This smacks of corruption and good ole boy politics that the citizens oh Hanover County have come to […]

Because they come stacked with kids, kids and more kids. Apartments are the highest density developments you can have. And the problem is, there are so many children per square foot […]

The anti-business Obama Administration is seeing it’s policies damage the jobs market. After fudging the math by removing large numbers of out of work people from the count, the fuzzy math is proving to be too much to hide the dire condition of the US economy. The figures for May 2012 were just released and […]

The schools in Hanover County probably don’t like me a whole lot.

Senator Donald McEachin is now insisting that the taxpayers pick up the tab for the now required ultrasounds before they get an abortion. The “intrusive” jelly on the belly ultrasounds, which are routinely done to make sure it is “safe” to abort the baby are free. At Planned Parenthood and most places that do them. […]

It is nearly impossible to get rid of bad teachers in Virginia’s schools due to a contract that forces the state to jump through more hoops than the private sector to fire a bad […]
