I have lived in Virginia all my 60 years. I had to retire early because of an injury so it’s tough trying to make ends meet sometimes. I don’t understand why they want to make it so hard for people to live?? It’s tough seeing how Virginia is divided and how the hard working Virginians have to suffer because of people like her being elected. I don’t know if people are not voting ,other than for the Presidential vote but this election should wake people up and from now on We Need To Vote at Every Election in our State!!! I hope the ones that voted for her are balling their eyes out when those crazy taxes and everything else starts. She needs to be fired!! We need someone who cares about our state and what happens to the people!! And for me it’s not a Democratic/Republican thing it’s a humanitarian thing. It’s caring about All the people. What’s right for everyone not one side or the other!! Why can’t they work together for the good of everyone. We don’t need higher taxes, we pay enough now for taxes on taxes and more. I’m sick of Northern Va making up the majority votes here.
According to the House Bill 863 includes proposals to effectively eliminate minimum sentencing for manslaughter, rape, possession and distribution of child pornography, assaulting a law enforcement officer and other repeat violent felonies.
As a victim, of a brutal rape crime, this has me scared for not just for myself ,but the community.
If someone is sentenced life without parole, there should be no release!! It doesn’t matter if they are up for geriatric release. The crime they committed and the time that was served should still stand. Someone becoming of the age of 60ish does not mean they’re not a threat to the community specially among the children. If you release a rapist that was sentenced with life without parole just because he is considered geriatric you are now operating a huge threat to our community and our children.
I’m a lifelong Va resident, the immediate extremist actions of Mrs Spanberger are alarming enough that my family is weighing moving out of Va. Uprooting your life and your kids is not an easy decision, but the numerous new taxes and unnecessary and unacceptable proposals for public school curriculums will absolutely push families away from our beautiful state.
My home, along with everyone else’s on my street, does not have a way where trash cans could move from the back of the house to the front because of grass and fences. Meaning they will have to live on front porches and sidewalks, and probably just in the main street. This will create so many more issues for cars, people using the sidewalks, odors and basic sanitation.
Why did the city not purchase the appropriate sized trucks? I’m sorry this happened, but they need find the money to purchase new trucks.
This neighborhood area of Dallas was master planned around alleyways, our homes were literally built around them. It is the city’s job to maintain them, and to continue trash service in them like they have done for the past 65+ years.
Rent increases, gas prices (already high as they are), and groceries. I am on a fixed income, and now I am forced to go back to work to make ends meet. I am 72 years old, and I am supposed to be retired? In about a year or two, I plan on moving to Utah. It is way too expensive to live in California anymore!!!!
I’m a working mother barely getting by and struggling this is unfair how is anyone supposed to get by when your raising a child we have been dealing with in inflation for thh last 4 yrs and other states are hearing the people and our state continues to make things worse. This is not right and heartbreaking.
Being on a fixed income due to life changing injuries from a really bad car accident that was not my fault I pay the price for enough everyday now our state government wants to drown us in taxes even more then we are already paying. We can barely live as it is leave us poor people alone
As the United States veteran and a child of two different races I am appalled at the president and his administration. My families history has created the tapestry that is America. We are a blended family like so many others in America and it is absolutely heartbreaking the abusive power solely so one race or group of people can succeed, that is not how it was raised and that is not the America I grew up in. I fully believe if Congress is going to stop the payment of other federal employees and they themselves should no longer receive a paycheck! The hypocrisy that is continuing to surround this Administration has got to stop now!
