Comments
Query: Why is a delegate from Chester the patron for a bill that exclusively targets Lexington? And the delegate representing Lexington isn’t on the subcommittee, how is this reasonable?
It reeks of special interest ie realtor dictums . If this was a proud moment in district representation, Del Cline would be leading the charge. Instead it’s coming in through the back door perhaps so Cline can walk a tightrope, but realtors still get the influence/results they paid for. At this point Cline is silent on the matter.
Got to wonder, what’s in it for Knight? Will we next see Cline or similar out of area delegate target Chester with legislation? Will Knight’s speech at the next private luncheon with realtors begin with attaboys because he took care of them as promised?
Step away from the non-credible explanation that the bill is needed because Lexington’s ordinance does not comply with state law. If Legislation were needed to fix local “non-compliance” with state laws, they would have to meet 24 hours a day. Attorneys, courts and enforcement actions fix non-compliance.
Re your first paragraph: why is a delegate from Chester/Lexington allowing an add-on to this bill for the City of Virginia Beach? What does Bill DeSteff want to hide? See very bottom of most recent bill version.
