Comment on County Faces Delicate Situation With Homeless Man At Construction Site by BethLcl

Agreeing to move and actually moving might be different for Tom. Other businesses in the area have tried to “discourage” Tom from bedding down in front of their establishment. A few years ago when Tom sat and slept on the bench a few blocks further south in front of the American Inn, the bench he used miraculously disappeared while he was out. He still stayed there; he just stood where the bench used to be. Tom has been homeless more than five years, closer to seven or more.

I grew up on Hampden lane from 1971-1982, I remember all the trees and families that lived on that street. Even the businesses were friendly with everyone that lived there. Now that area is just a long list of money hungry people, how very sad. Those old buildings have some serious history, they should restore them and charge 1/4 of the rent they are charging now.

Rorojo – You can marry the same gender as yourself. That won’t bother me at all. I hope that the two of you will be happy together as you vote to raise your on Taxes.

The ‘Rain Tax’ is next.

Enjoy !!!

Rorojo – Well then, your guess would be all wrong.

Let me guess you are all for “micro-managing” women’s reproductive health and who is allowed to marry who. I will take the blue state bag taxes and cigarette taxes and you can have the red state transvaginal ultrasounds. I think that is a fair trade. /feeding the troll.

Leigh – I’m sorry if the truth about Democrats offend you.
Perhaps you should reconsider your political views.

If it were up to store owners, most wouldn’t charge the tax because it would give them a competitive advantage.

Va is indeed a Red State.

Just ask Republican Gov. Bob McDonnel.

Please tell me Leigh – Why are all of the Blue States in the Red financially, and the Red States are in the Black?

Could it be because Red States don’t have ‘Bag Taxes’ and ‘Rain Taxes’?

It’s hard to take you seriously with that tinfoil hat you’ve got on.

The Democrats want to control every aspect of your life including what you eat and drink. They control the size of our cups and much, much more.
Now they want to mandate that we carry a bag with us at all times.
You may enjoy being micro-managed, but I don’t.
