@KarlJacks82 @BoydWalker @stop_arena @bluevirginia @DonBeyerVA But yet we have property tax hikes, no money for another high school, and need to hire more city staff. This $700k and the waste of city staff time is just one more example of the failures and wrong priorities of this Council. Need a clean sweep of incumbents in the June primary.

Alexandria mayoral candidate Steven Peterson is a political newcomer and he’s coming out swinging https://t.co/VjNmGSzINO

Here’s who’s officially running for Alexandria Mayor and City Council https://t.co/QjU95yb25N

@GrantKidwell @jc_bradbury Boy one could wonder why the mayor and city pushed to build a Metro station to nowhere than. ‘We built a useless Metro station to empty land, so now we must handout $2B in funds and bonds to build on the land.’ 🤔

[Ben Tribbett @notlarrysabato]

Local bonds require a referendum and he knew he was pushing something his community didn’t want and that he could not win a public vote. So he ran to the Commonwealth as a way to bypass the public from rejecting it- but ran into @SenLouiseLucas instead.

@justindotnet Wow great leadership and visionary thinking there @justindotnet. Take this deal, and pay for it, that no one wants under an accelerated timeline or the whole city will collapse! Please stop and if you can’t be a mature leader who represents us for the rest of your term, resign.

[karl Jackson @KarlJacks82]

@BoydWalker where is @KirkMcPike ?

[Abdel Elnoubi @AbdelElnoubi]

I had concerns with the arena deal and did not support it, as previously stated on my website.

Here’s my full statement

[Wigums @Wigums]

@AlexandriaVAGov @SenLouiseLucas what do you think of this statement by @justindotnet who says you did not review the arena deal on its merits, and blocked it for partisan reasons. I can’t say his perspective aligns with the thoughts of Alexandria residents, or the facts of why the deal is dead.

[Wigums @Wigums]

@justindotnet @AlexandriaEcon This is by far @justindotnet most gaslighting / self serving / revisionist statement in a career littered with them. Your intent was to railroad this through as a done deal. There is no ‘ending negotiations’ on a deal shutdown by your constituents. Stop lying.

[Wigums @Wigums]

@FixYourFace00 @KarlJacks82 @BoydWalker @j_huskey @JamesLewisVA @stop_arena @KirkMcPike who I believe traveled to Richmond to lobby on behalf of the arena, all of a sudden was just undertaking a community engagement / listening tour this whole time. 🤔

[Patrick Hedger @pat_hedger]

The city of Alexandria, Virginia has ☝️ high school. That’s it. The idea that it should have twice the number of publicly-subsidized sports franchises as public high schools was always bonkers on its face.

[L. Louise Lucas @SenLouiseLucas]

This is a freakin legendary smackdown so now the incompetent losers behind the effort are out telling lies and conspiracy theories instead of just admitting they got their asses kicked by an 80 year old (affectionately called) ghansta legislator.

[Wigums @Wigums]

@Alyia4ALX You have no questions / priorities about core city services of public safety, infrastructure or fire/emergency medical? Along with education these are arguably the only services a mid-sized city council member should be concerned with. Very telling.

[Jonathan Huskey @j_huskey]

We won the battle, but we need to make sure our City never has to face another proposal like the Potomac Yard arena deal. I'm just getting started in this race. Join me as we stand up for Alexandria.

[Andrew DeFrank @andrewdefrank]

same as it ever was

[Wigums @Wigums]

@SenLouiseLucas Thank you for listening and standing with the residents of Alexandria and the Commonwealth. You and @EBPforVA did your diligence to see past the talking points and fancy slides, and we appreciate it!

[Wigums @Wigums]

@monumentalalx We will miss your ridiculous tweets with all there made up numbers, wins, wins, wins and shape bending half truths. Part of us will never be the same not having your tweets to look forward to bashing everyday 😪

[Wigums @Wigums]

@KarlJacks82 @justindotnet @SenLouiseLucas @BoydWalker @stop_arena The entire Council running on a gaslighting platform. Very disengenious for any of them except @AmyJacksonVA to pretend they wouldn’t have excitedly voted yes on the arena despite the overwhelming opposition of their constituents. I appreciate thier service, but time for change.

[Wigums @Wigums]

@BoydWalker @richmondtimes @stop_arena @adrienAK Too late for them since they waited until a strong slate of candidates not beholden to the current power structure announced. We finally have real choices in the Dem primary and it’s likely only @AmyJacksonVA survives to the general election, and the entire council is tossed out
