I’m not surprised Ben Tribbett is trying to make $millions by trying the Arena deal to a NOVA Casino. He’s a private citizen. But since he is a consultant to Lucas and Surovell, voters will see him as selling access to powerful Democrats. A very bad look in an election year.
Geez Louise 4.0: Sen. Lucas should get Speaker Scott to join in asking the VA AG to wit: is the DC AG correct in saying the Wizards have a legal obligation to play in DC until 2047? Surely this should be decided before legislators spend more time on Youngkin’s Arena boondoggle.
(1)Did the Wizards’ owner tell Youngkin about this legal dispute? Presumably yes. If so, Youngkin knew this: the Wizards’ would demand Youngkin agree to pay the “break the lease money.” (2) Where is this “free lunch” reflected in Youngkin’s Arena $$ figures? I can’t find it.
GEEZ LOUISE 3.0: Youngkin has his legacy finally! Just revealed: The DC AG told the Wizards’ owner the team had a legal obligation to stay in DC! The AG told the Wizards’ owner he disagreed with the Wizards’ lawyers interpretations. Two questions (to be continued in next post).
I’ve analyzed all the presidential elections. JFK’s choice of LBJ for VEEP was inspired. JFK otherwise loses to Nixon. Trump surely wants a MAGA toady for VP. But history’s choice is clear: Gov. Kemp of Georgia. They despise each other. But historically never a dealbreaker.
Youngkin says he wants a legacy. This requires Gov. action making historic progress. I‘ve helped Govs do it. Tell the GA: until it passes a VA CON fix to ensure poor Black/Brown/White kids get the equal educational opportunities promised since 1955, I’m vetoing your pet bills.
Geez Louise 2.0. “Virginia House leaders dispute governor's claim that their consultant heaped praise on arena deal.” reports the AP. Question: Then why haven’t Speaker Scott and Appropriations Chair Torian joined Senator Lucas in opposing the deal?
Dunkin’ Youngkin? Lucas dares Gov to dunk contest. “If they really believe … (Arena) is a good project…hold a referendum” she recently told Cardinal news. In your face! Lucas saying: I speak for the people, not you. Casinos require referendum. Why not far bigger Glenn Dome?
