@justindotnet @slarjy @GOVERNING @Alyia4ALX Well often policies are made based on who the donors are that back candidates so maybe you can answer why this man donated so much

All donors were local, grassroots, neighbors here in Alexandria. I asked the Board to consider disclosing it as there is no reason not to do it

[Adrien Lopez @adrienAK]

@slarjy @justindotnet @GOVERNING Agree Jeff. Especially if you look at how some of the Dem candidates that claim to be progressive are taking money (in @Alyia4ALX case it was a huge amount) from a donor that almost exclusively gives to MAGA Republicans. He sits on the board of Blackstone Group so a big developer

@harris4alx I would like to find a way to connect through a private message, do you have email?

[Adrien Lopez @adrienAK]

@justindotnet @GOVERNING We can have nice colonial ambiance that can adapt & grow carefully while preserving the worthwhile aspects of our history in ALX. They have been doing it so well in Europe for centuries that folks from around the world flock to those cities and towns to soak up the history

[Adrien Lopez @adrienAK]

@justindotnet @GOVERNING One only needs to visit Charleston, SC or Savannah to see how much historic preservation has done and continues to do for their economies, their visitors, their residents. Old Town, and Georgetown in DC, and places in Boston and even Providence share some of these characteristics

[Adrien Lopez @adrienAK]

@justindotnet @GOVERNING To learn about the anti-preservation movement all one has to do is to read who is supporting it ... the Koch Brothers -- whose libertarian, western cowboy approach to things is "I don't need the government telling me how to live my life, and how to make money."

Well done to @the_IDB – which has moved up to 2nd place in the #2024Index. It takes considerable energy and effort to achieve this level of transparency. https://t.co/KsYtdSOMiO

Congrats to @AfDB_Group (sovereign) for retaining the top spot in the2024 #AidTransparency Index. It's great to see it has maintained its commitment to transparency standards and its publication of high-quality data. https://t.co/EeQguEWSuW #2024Index

@Alyia4ALX Why has Reginald Brown taken such an interest in Democratic candidates like yourself when his record seems to be mostly Republicans, take a look here: https://t.co/Sp9T4EaGP2

[Adrien Lopez @adrienAK]

@Alyia4ALX Why are you taking so much donation money from Reginald Brown, someone who has donated so much to the Republican Party, including PACs for Governor Glenn Youngkin and most recently Ron DeSantis. Why would you to be affiliated at all with him if you are a Democrat?

[Adrien Lopez @adrienAK]

Celebrating democracy tonight!! #TRUMPIsFoundGuilty

“Discussions about the arena deal underscored widespread concerns about Alexandria’s lagging commercial tax base in the hybrid work era. What avenues do you think the city should explore to diversify its tax base and shift some of the burden off of residential taxpayers?”

[Brian Hess @blhess]

What a vote! So excited the most significant ticketing reform legislation since 2016 is on its way to the Senate, and hopefully soon after on the way to President Biden.

Quote of the day: "The narrative that arena proponents are spinning to explain their defeat is as false as it is denigrating to arena opponents."
