The Chair lost to a former school teacher.
There was an opeining on the school board after the election when Pat Woodbury won a seat on the City Council.
So………what does the school board do? They appoint the person who lost the election, Rick Donaldson, to the open seat. After refusing to interview the 16 people that applied.
One school board member actually said that while the votes should be honored, the children count more? There is a storm brewing here in Newport News.

Residents are afraid to speak out against the “Courthouse Elite” for fear that they will be destroyed just like these supervisors are being destroyed. This group of people have run tihis county for 20 years or longer and have gotten everything that they wanted until now. Gloucester is like Mississippi Burning with Boss Hogg and banjo’s in the background!!!

And the Downtown Auto Parts case was decided in court. In this case, elected officials abused their positions in order to get people fired, among other things. I’d say that’s pretty unusual.

If investigators went through the records and emails of the NRHA in regards to the matter of the Downtown Auto Parts case, I have little doubt indictments could be obtained.

All of ‘em. Some of them get caught, most are able to hide behind sovereign immunity for their crimes. Nothing in this story surprises me.
