and yes, I have had troubles reaching his staff by phone in the past. And be careful, during the townhall season last summer, his staffers gave out completely false info about the healthcare bill. They had not read it–I had.

interestingly, I got an email from Tom this a.m. He asked me, as one of the subscribers to his “letters”, to vote in healthcare poll. I voted NO of course.

then I went to his website to see if the poll were there too. No. Poll only sent to subscribers. My guess is that 85-90% of subscribers are Dems. and then he will use this vote to say “Voila! my district overwhelmingly supports the rape of our economy.”

Just tried to call Representative Perriello. No answer and mailbox was not accepted voice messages. I have had this experience with him before. I am not sure that he is really interested in the views of his constituents especially if they are not supportive.

Also, it may interest some folks here in the 5th that our Congressman fully supports passage of this health care monstrosity via budget reconciliation.

The Progressive Change Campaign Committee has the Polis/Pingree letter posted on their site here: http://whipcongress.com/letter Read the letter and list of signers closely. These are the progressives who must be targeted for early retirement in November.

And, yes, call his office. Daily, if you can. The House vote is next week.

The schools say they will cut 99 teachers in the Tier 3 cuts. But the real issue is transparency. We can’t see an org. chart or monthly expenditure reports to make reasonable judgements where cuts should occur so we don’t have to cut teachers.

Why is always a threat to cut teachers? Why not reduce the amount of administrative staff and have all principals and above take pay cuts.

Thank you. I hadn’t looked in the individual departments, just trying to look at it from top down which is where it should be.

Now your challenge is to find a current School Division Organizational chart!

In the last five years the Albemarle County budget increased by 26% Boyd voted yes on every one. How many people out there that have had the same job over this time have had their pay increased by 26%? Not many I bet.

I understand that Boyd was the lone”conservative” on the board at this time but he could have voted against the budget just to make a point. By the way every vote was unanimous.

Albemarle;s government org charts are easily found — you didn’t look very hard! Just go to any Department at Albemarle.org, and along the right column you’ll find “Organizational Charts,” They’ve been there for a couple of years now …
