Gone

Yea. I guess sessoms and the developers found a couple trees left standing and a few feet of grass that was not covered with concrete. Well, that will be the last of "green" virginia beach.

Money doesn't equal votes

Its might be striking but it doesn't equate to citizen votes. Companies give donations all the time, but I do not ever recall a company or business at the voting booth. It is an "Election not an auction!

The choice is clear...

If you want more development, more traffic, more crowded schools, the clear choice is Will Sessoms! The "green line" is gone forever. I've lived in VB since 1957, but I Can't wait to retire and move to the country. There is no quality of life here anymore.

Know a lot of people that would be happy about that

I know a lot of tax payers with a slim choice of construction jobs right now that would love a Mayor promoting the construction industry. That 4 to 1 difference over Meyera is pretty striking.

Developer bought

Notice the list of developers paying to put sessoms in office? Wonder where his priorties will be if elected. Scary. The abuse of the taxpayer will continue, and the developers will continue to own city council.

Helpful information

It would be helpful to include the various contribution rules for the cities. Apparently there's a $5,000 limit in Virginia Beach at least.
