guys welcome to the i love seville show my name is jerry miller thank you for joining us on a thursday late star for us we apologize for that some technical difficulties which we are overcoming as we speak but we should be live on all our key social media and podcasting platforms right now in particular my personal facebook page that has nearly 7000 followers the i love seville facebook page uh that has more than that I Love Seville Group, which has thousands of followers as well. Altogether across all platforms, podcasting, social media, and content creation, the I Love Seville brand reaches the most people in the region we call Central Virginia except for the brand called the University of Virginia.

I'll offer that again. If you were to aggregate all the followers of the I Love Seville brand across all platforms and podcasting and social media, we reach more people than any platform or brand in Central Virginia except for UVA. A lot we're going to cover on the broadcast today, including goodness gracious, what is going to be the most watched

and possibly the most attended Outmore County School Board meeting in history. That's tonight. I'm told, that media from outside of central Virginia has made contact with folks about covering and attending tonight's school board meeting. That would mean Alamara County public schools will be garnering attention outside of Almaro County, outside of Charlestville, and outside of Central Virginia. and garnered attention for not necessarily the most positive storylines. Sarah Williams on YouTube highlights,

I hope this does not turn into a national issue like August 12th, 2017. Me as well, Sarah Williams. I'm very curious to see how the school board, while on the record, response, if they respond with any comments at all, I'm curious if the school board doesn't respond as a collective, if individual members on the school board have the courage, the gumption, the fortitude to offer their respective thoughts and commentary on Spillman's word choice. We'll talk about that today.

I've been having this conversation with my wife as a parent who lives in Amarro County. This is what I asked her. which storyline is most significant to you the first storyline spillman's word choice live on lincoln spilman's usage excuse me at the cucklux clam and now more county students or the inclusivity policy that allows teenage boys to lurk and linger in girls locker rooms and bathrooms at Western Amar High School so they could basically watch girls in their most intimate moments. We'll talk about that today.

It seems like the LinkedIn connection is a little choppy there, Judah. If you can take a look at that, please. We'll talk about that on today's show. I also want to have this conversation with you, the viewer, and listener. How much will politics and the landmine and landfews? field of politics. You reconnected it. It's looking good now on LinkedIn. Well, I'm just cutting it.

How much will politics impact engagement and enrollment at higher education, specifically universities and colleges? We have the Trump administration basically threatening the University of Virginia from all sides, including

forcing its president, Jim Ryan, out of office. Now we have Democrats in Virginia saying if you guys move forward with Trump and this compact this pack this this this strong army he's trying to do at the University of Virginia then we as Virginia Democrats will threaten funding of your respective university so I want to ask this question as higher education specifically education at prestigious and prominent universities and colleges in the country this is ravaging the Ivy League

as this becomes more commonplace, what is the collateral damage or the fallout on enrollment numbers and engagement numbers of students choosing to attend said universities? I want to talk about that on today's show. I want to highlight on the program Oak Valley Custom Hardscapes. Oak Valley Custom Hardscapes is your choice for anything Hartscape-related, anything custom-hartscape-related. Valley Custom Hardscapes has a fantastic office on the downtown mall.

Oak Valley Custom Hartscapes Online, at Oak Valley, LH.com. A lot I want to cover on the program, ladies and gentlemen, and taking your comments and thoughts on any of the headlines we're talking, including what is supposed to be a significant announcement, which is underway now from Glenn Yonkin.

We're going to try to stream the Glenn Yonkin press conference, which is going on now, or talk with our boots on the street at the Glenn Yonken press conference and try to relay that information to you within the next 45 minutes here on the I Love Seville show. At this point, Judah, if the streams aren't live, we'll move without them. You did your best. Let's go to the studio camera and a two-shot as we welcome a director and producer

who does yeoman's work behind the scenes, Judah Wickrow to the show. School board tonight, Judah? we got Spillman, whether she's going to offer her resignation, we got school board members and whether they're going to talk about this. We have parents from both sides of the aisle itching to speak in the public comment portion of the school board meeting, which has been stripped down from three minutes of speaking time per person to two minutes of speaking time per person. what a time to be alive the obvious thing we we hope for is no danger and and no risk to anybody's safety but having a lively and spirited and at times antagonistic discussion is a part of our democracy

where do you want to begin which headline most intrigues you and why let's see I don't think that Allison Spillman will resign. I am interested in hearing how the Albemarle school board responds to her, but I think they're pretty much all in lockstep, so I don't hold out a whole lot of hope that there will be any admonishment of her by school board or the top leadership. the school superintendent or his chairs?

Superintendent, they wouldn't be his chairs. The chair and the vice chair are the bosses of the superintendent. The superintendent has the lieutenants, his underlinks, assistant superintendents, and they would not speak out against this because they don't really even have a moment to speak unless they're asked to speak. The chair and the vice chair, I don't think, are going to speak. out against Allison Spillman because they've already penned a letter, commentary, a statement, offering their thoughts. My curious opinion, what I'm curious about is whether the remaining four school board members, because Spillman's already made her comments, the chair and the vice

chair have issued comments of their own in a co-signed letter with Matthew Haas, the superintendent, but I'm very curious to see what the remaining four members on the school board member, on the school board if they choose to speak up or offer commentary or not. Kata Cuff, we know what she's going to say. She issued a statement, she's the chair. Rebecca Berlin, she's the vice chair. She issued a statement.

We know what she's going to say. Matthew Haas, he co-signed a statement with the chair and the vice chair. But what are Leslie Prior? What is Leslie Pryor going to say? What is Judy Lee going to say? What is the retiring Graham Page going to say? What is Ellen Osborne going to say?

Grand Page is a man of color. Grand Page is a retiring school board member and a man of color, what is Graham Page going to say when his colleague, Allison Spillman, compared students at Western High School to the Ku Klux Klan? What is a black man going to say in a position of authority, a man who is on his way out retiring from school board going to say about Allison Spillman referencing the Ku Klux Klan? Grand Page, your comments today, someone should tag at Grand Page, and make sure Grand Page, here's what I'm saying.

He is an institution Grand Page on the school board. An absolute institution from the Samuel Miller District. You're talking a former chair of the school board. What is he going to say tonight? Grand Page is he going to

offer accountability commentary to Allison Spillman? I want to know that question. He's represented the Samuel Miller District on the Almore County School Board since 2015. Was elected 10 years ago, ladies and gentlemen, nearly 10 years ago. What is Graham Page to say? Very interestingly, what is Leslie Pryor, a woman of color, going to say? These are the questions that might be uncomfortable, but that we have on the I Love C.

show. You have a black woman and a black man on the Almore County School Board. Will they offer accountability commentary tonight? Leslie Pryor is in a dog fight of a race

with Jim Dillenbeck. Jim Dillenbeck was on the show yesterday. This is the type of commentary and analysis that you're not finding elsewhere, guys, that we offer here on the show. We cut through the noise. Jim Dillenbeck, straight up called out the Almore County School Board. If Jim Dylan Beck gets an opportunity to speak

and it's a lottery, okay? It's a very limited speaking time, this window. Almore County School Board can choose to extend it. They won't. They're going to cut all speaking times down to two minutes from the general three minutes per person because so many people have chosen to speak. It's now a lottery determining who's going to speak. If Jim Dylan Dillon Beck is able to speak tonight, the candidate for the Ryo District who joined us on the show yesterday. If you missed that interview, visit I Lovecvill.com and watch Jim Dillon Beck, a sensible, reasonable man. And if Jim Dillenbeck speaks, the first thing he should say, Leslie Pryor, Almorel County School Board member, what are your thoughts on Allison Spillman's Ku Klux Klan

comparison as an Almorel County leader, as an Almore County elected official, and as a black woman on the Almore County School Board? and he should have his opponent on the record offering her perspective and whether she chooses to use word salad or hold Spilman accountable. Yeah. This is what no other platforms covering

was Grandpage and Leslie Pryor are going to say. What's Spillman going to do? Is Spillman going to save Almore County with retirement, with resignation? Or Spillman so punched drunk on Spilman that this emboldens and empowers her to continue waiting in this cesspool of verbal vomit and racial commentary? And what's expected of Matthew Haas tonight? Is Matthew Haas just going to keep his head down and remain silent for this meeting?

What's expected of the superintendent tonight? What's expected of those that are in the auditorium? I'm hearing from one vendor, a vendor that we work alongside, that the anti-spillman crowd is purchasing marketing collateral merchandise to voice their anti-spillman sentiment on team. t-shirts in the auditorium, signage in the auditorium. I'm hearing media outlets from outside central Virginia will be in attendance today. I'm not surprising.

And then I've got to ask you, the viewer, and listener to this question, what is the more significant story in Almar County Public Schools right now? Is the more significant story the Spillman Ku Klux Klan reference, or is the more significant story the fact that teenage boys are lurking and lurking and, lingering in girls' locker rooms and girls' bathrooms to watch young ladies in their most intimate and vulnerable moments as they're changing clothes and utilizing the restroom. I would say the petitioned by the girls of Western Albemoral High School is... And I got an email, an anonymous email yesterday from a parent at Western Amoral High School. And this parent at Western Amoral High School said, my daughter is friends. this parent said with the trans students at Western Amaral High School, and it's not the trans students that are lurking and lingering in the girls' bathrooms. The trans students are choosing to use the gender neutral bathrooms at Western Amaral High School. It is, in fact, straight boys, biological boys, males, that are choosing to go into the girls' bathrooms to lurk and linger because they're teenage boys that are into watching girls change.

That seems to me the most significant of the storylines, and the Spillman word choice is gaining regional headlines with the media that's going to be in attendance tonight. So if I'm an editor at the Richmond Times Dispatch, or if I'm an editor at the Washington Post, I would instruct my education beat reporter to make the trip to, Alamaro County for tonight's school board meeting and instruct my educational beat reporter to follow these storylines. Storyline one, what does Allison Spillman say when given a third chance to comment on her Ku Klux Klan word choice? I would instruct my educational beat reporter to see if Allison Spillman's willing to resign. I would instruct my educational beat reporter to follow Graham Page.

the school board member who is retiring, not resigning, but retiring, a black male, if he will offer commentary on Spillman's Ku Klux Klan comparison, follow what Leslie Pryor does, who's in an active campaign and race against Jim Dillon back in the Ryo district as a black woman. And then the educational beat reporter should figure out which is the most significant story students through the manipulation of an inclusivity policy that allows gender-curious, gender-transitioning curious students to enter the locker rooms and bathrooms of the opposite sex to lurk and linger.

Which is the more significant story? And it's a natural segue into the higher education. Our educational ecosystems have become battlefields for politics, political landmines. Geez, Louise, look at the University of Virginia. It's Trump UVA. It's Virginia Democrats UVA. It's Trump leveraging federal funding to push Jim Bryan out of office. It's Democrats trying to leverage state funding to get control of the University of

Virginia. It's the governor putting wrecking balls on the board of visitors, Bert Ellis. It's the governor leveraging a loophole malfeasance and malpractice to get his wrecking ball off the board of visitors once the governor got what he wanted. Diversity, equity, and inclusion removed from the University of Virginia. Now what is it? Trump, the compact, put in perspective for the viewers and listeners what's going on with this policy and how Virginia Democrats are responding. Well, the Trump administration sent a, I believe it's a nine-page compact. It's got a much longer name than that that we don't need to parse. But it's some of the things seem reasonable to me.

But at the same time, with everything that's come before this, I think the fact that the Trump administration is offering something like this is highly suspect, and I'm not surprised that 97% of the university staff have condemned it. At the same time, you've got Democrats who would decry something from anything similar from the other side and certainly have when the Republicans have threatened funding for the school based on whether they do something or don't do something. And here we have state Democrats threatening UVA if they go along with the compact.

So I'm not surprised. And frankly, I think this is a misstep by the right. I don't know what they're trying to accomplish here, but I think this compact is going to fall on its face and that's what it is. Nearly 100% of university academics are opposed to what Trump is doing. Nearly 100% of the rank and file.

And not all of it's bad. I haven't looked through the whole thing, but on the face of it, some of the stuff that they're asking for is essentially don't do bad stuff. Virginia Democrats are saying, you go along UVA and interim president Mahoney and board of visitors with this Trump compact, then we're going to utilize, we're going to leverage state funding against you. Yep. Everybody loves to throw the weight around.

So you have rank and file academics at the University of Virginia that are angry. A hordid sness has been stirred up. Yeah. There is pissed off academics at the University of Virginia as a, the hornet's nest that's been run over by a push lawnmower on a hundred degree summer afternoon and now Morrill County. And the hornets are swirling. The man pushing the lawnmower, non-self-propelled, and a backyard in ivy, is swatting hornets left and right away from his temple, his forearms, his elbows, his kneecaps, his chest. He's sprinting away from the lawnmower because the academics

are so angry right now. Then you have the Trump administration from afar trying to utilize leverage, borderline blackmail, against the university. You have Virginia Democrats, not as far as a federal administration, but certainly not in Charlottesville,

trying to combat Trump's leverage. And somewhere the students and the parents are in the middle. and these students and parents that are in the middle stuck between a hornet's nest of academics stuck between a leveraging, blackmailing federal administration

stuck between a chess match between a president and Commonwealth Democrats are like, God, we were already thinking that this was too expensive to send our kids to this school and we could barely afford it. And we weren't sure what the return on

investment with the four-year degree was unless you went like the science, the technology, the engineering, the math, the finance, or the medicine route, the law route. All those other routes, the ROI is probably not there. Now there's these political landmines and these these extortion attempts, these educational extortion attempts. Why are we doing this? And I'm curious to see what's going to happen with the parents and the kids. that have had to matriculate through this over the last five to seven years. I mean, goodness gracious, think about right now if you're a high school student. If you're a junior or senior in high school that's considering applying to college,

and you've got lower third you need to be rotating on screen here, Judah. If you're a junior or senior that's considering applying to college, you literally, in your middle school and high school years, went through a pandemic when your middle school was absolutely destroyed destroyed by politics destroyed by the left and the right destroyed by local government

state government federal government they had to go through a terrible pandemic period then they come out of COVID to find that their socialization is behind their academic performance is behind that the teachers are completely burned out. Those students then go into a high school environment

where there was the most significant school board race maybe in American history here in Amar County with Bryce and Spillman. Then they come out of that political landmine with this trans storyline, the LBGTQ storyline that's dominant. CRT storyline that's dominant, DEI story that's dominant, inclusivity, outclusivity,

who's exclusive, who's not exclusive, all the buzzwords that's dominant. Then you get Trump into office, Yonkin, B.O.V., UVA, Jim Ryan out, Jim Ryan in, interim president out, UVA health out, pro-Palestine, pro, I mean, when does the value property,

proposition of the degree just not there anymore? And when does the pump and the circumstance of political fallout start clouding the mindset of me going $250,000 or $300,000 into debt for a four-year degree? And does anyone see a path to clarity or normalcy or a return to what it was? Dude, call me old, call me the guy who says, in my time, I used to walk five or seven miles one way and snow barefoot to get to school. I just remember school, going to school, doing some homework, talking to some friends, playing some sports, going home, studying for a test or a quiz, playing some sports, talking to some girls, and doing it again. That's not it now. It's never a good sign when you have the most talked about

and the most attended, engaged, watched, media-covered school board meeting in history. And that's what's happening tonight. a meeting where Almore County police I've been told is offering three to four X the personnel that it normally does probably was

viewers and listeners your thoughts Suzanne Daly's got some opinions she says what makes you think Graham Page doesn't agree with Spillman if he agrees with her sentiment he will not

speak out against it. We will see. I don't know if Grand Page will speak out against Spillman's statement, Spillman's KKK comparison, Suzanne, or agree with Spilman's KKK comparison. I find that Grand Page and Leslie Pryor will be positioned in a forefront environment for commentary or expect it to commentate because they are men and women of color. And Spilman chose to compare students to the most racist and damning group that the American history has ever seen that arguably the worst in world history save for maybe Hitler's Nazis.

Right? I mean, you talk about some of the nastiest, most hateful, most disgusting, deplorable groups in American history? Who trumps the Ku Klux Klan? I don't think anybody I don't think anyone trumps the Ku Klux Klan and world history

who Trumps the KKK Hitler's Nazis Your perspective Hitler's Nazis They certainly rank up there I mean they've certainly I would believe killed more people than the KKK

Yeah And that's what I'm basing Hitler's Nazis And the most hated of all Most nasty or most evil of all groups Yeah Okay And I'm no expert.

I am no expert at Middle Eastern geopolitical warfare or history. I'm no expert on Hamas and Palestine and Israel. I'm no expert on the nastiness that's in Africa and all the turmoil in Africa. Okay? I do know from the little history that I studied that the Nazis and the KKK are some of the worst of the worst. To Suzanne Daly's point, if Grandpage or Leslie Pryor do not make comments, then Suzanne prior, if Grand Page and Leslie Pryor do not make comments, then Grand Page and Leslie prior to the statement. Okay, with the statement.

Yeah. Or they're just afraid to speak up because of... There should be no reason why Graham Page should be afraid to speak up because he's retiring. There should be no reason. but just because he's retiring doesn't mean he won't see major pushback from, again, not just the Democrats, not just the people that agree with Spillman's statement here in Charlottesville and Albemarle County. But since we're expecting such an in-pouring, an inflow of press and people from outsider area, who knows what kind of nuts are going to show up. And I would not be surprised if that creates a bit of insecurity

in speaking out against something that some people certainly seem to agree with. just because you're just because you're retiring doesn't mean you're going to be free from from the blowback if you're retiring you have more reason to speak because you have a less to lose prior can make at least some reasoning that she's in an active campaign against Jim Dellenbeck for the Rio district seat and that her word choice here could hurt her at the polls. Grand page, I hope you hear what I have to say. Sir, you have nothing to lose here.

And, sir, you have a significant amount to gain. It's called Legacy, Grand Page. Legacy, sir. And for a decade you've served on the school board. You're 79 years old. Grand Page, you were born in the year 1946, the 20th of March you are approaching an 80th birthday

grandpage and you have seen things in this world that are hurtful and hateful your comments are

from my standpoint expected here. I want to highlight Charlottesville Sanitary Supply, 61 consecutive years in business, John Vermillion and Andrew Vermillion. Charlestful Sanitary Supply, 61 years in business, one family, the Vermilions.

They've run it for three family generations. The Vermilions are five generations strong in Almarl County. Online at charlesfelsanitary supply.com and located at East High Street. Did you know Charlottesville Sanitary Supply has anything and everything that you can find on Amazon, Walmart, Target, all those places, and that Charlottesville Sanitary Supply is same-day delivery, free delivery within the market,

they will get the product to your doorstep faster than Amazon Target and Walmart. And they have the same stuff that Amazon Target and Walmart have. And you're literally supporting an in-house company, a locally owned and operated business. And if you have questions, they have answers for you. It's something you also can't get from Amazon. I literally have seen them at their store sell a mila vacuum to someone who's local and say, we have a mechanic on site that knows these vacuums inside and out. And this mila vacuum will last you 20 to 30 years.

It is a no-brainer. tell you it's going to be a hell of a show tomorrow you guys better be watching tomorrow's show Carlos Franco watching the program Carlos is this your first comment of the show Carlos Franco I want to send you a friend request here he says the most likely reaction is going to be nothing to see here move along and no comment they will move through the meeting quietly listening to the speakers and adjourn no resignation with the expectation that this will blow over. Sadly, I think Carlos Franco is right.

Janice Boyce Trevillian watching the program. She says, doesn't that make the Virginia Democrats just as bad as the Trump Republicans? They're both holding UVA hostage with threatening of money. Yeah. They're all the same. All the same.

It's all the same. 100% Janice Bois Trevillian. all the same you keep going about it this way people like my wife and I who are going out of pocket for private school education

through the tune of soup to nuts 25,000 a year from kindergarten through senior in high school eventually we're going to be educationally burnt out and be like our two sons, maybe you consider something completely different than this four-year path where they want another $250,000 or $300,000 of money to put you through the rigamar role of

political brainwashing, political pot holes, political catastrophe. you saw that you see that a little bit with the uva football team the uva football team over the last three years with tony elliott tony elliott over the last three years going into this season had the worst record in uva and the worst record of any of the power football teams any power football conference his first three years on the job tony elliott had the least amount of wins this year tony elliott has a football team that is ranked right now and the top 20 the country. Yeah, amazing. And still, Scott Stadium is not close to capacity with fans in the seats. The team has been so bad. The apathy is so tangible and palpable with the fan base

that even a five-and-one football team that beats Florida State on national TV in Scott Stadium then follows up that victory with a road win in Kentucky against Louisville, still you don't get sellouts at Scott Stadium. Let's see what happens against Washington State coming out of the buy week. They're off this week. The following Saturday, Washington State at home for homecoming. If you don't have a sellout at Scott Stadium for homecoming against Washington State when you're a top 20 football team who's contending for an ACC championship, that sense of apathy, that sense of anger, that sense of being out of touch is synonymous with what parents are going to feel over with the parents of high schoolers now,

the parents that are in middle school now, the parents of kids that are in elementary school now, we are so desensitized, apathetic, angry, emotional, frustrated, demoralize, whatever you want to call it, with what's happening to education, that if this apathy, this demoralization,

this anger, this frustration, continues to boil over, or continues to have momentum, like an empty Scott Stadium, you'll start seeing engagement and enrollment numbers dropping at four-year educations at colleges and universities. Your parents will say,

consider something else, the trades. Consider something else, family business. Consider something else a gap year. Do we know what the Yonke in, Tina Wyatt Bryant, welcome to the show. Stacey Baker, patty welcome to the show do we know what the yonkin news are news is i've not seen a credible update yet jeremy wilson eastern tennessee welcome to the broadcasts yonkins in amore

county right now ladies and gentlemen deep throat watching the program do you reckon the lack of interest in attending uva football maybe because people get these people get these are hired guns not real uva students that's a good question I think a lot of it's that 40% of the UVA roster more than 40% of UVA's active roster did not play in Charlesville or for

UVA last year including its best player Chandler Morris its starting quarterback including its top two of its best running backs including its best running back Jamari Taylor

the Ross kid played at what JMU and Yukon, the wide receiver and the special teams returner, multiple offensive linemen, talented defensive linemen, including a defense event who's been in multiple time defensive lineman and ACC player of the week from Ohio State. I think he's absolutely onto something there. I think it's a number of things. You have so many digital nomads and so many remote workers in Charlottesville now because the quality of life is so high. that the affinity for institutional practices or the affinity engagement for institutional weekend activities like UVA home football games, like vineyards, breweries and wineries, like shopping

local, like Foxfields, it's just not the same commitment as it was prior to COVID. Yeah. another economic statement of significance from Glenn Yonkin in Almore County today. Glenn Yonkin, ladies and gentlemen, is, it seems like making

a trip a month to Almorea County. And there's nothing online in regards to that that you've seen? I'm not finding anything yet. It's still just reports of a announcement at noon. It's got to be something biotechnology tied. Is it the AstraZeneca News? My hunch

is it's the AstraZeneca News. John Blair, do you know that? Started to go on, but Do you know John what it is with Yonkin today? Is it the Astrozenica news and the location for the AstraZeneca? Multi-billion dollar play?

Let's see. Governor Glenn Yonkin announced to AstraZeneca will be establishing a new facility in Elmeral County. I just got it. I called it. I literally just called it. Yeah. Literally just called So that's the breaking use? It seems like that's not so breaking.

Didn't we know? No, we don't know where the location was. Are you sure that's fresh right there? Yeah. It's as fresh as I've got. What's the timestamp on that news article? Let's see. I mean, it's not super recent, but I'm not seeing you.

That's not why he's here. That's old media that you're reading. He already made that announcement. I think what he's saying here is the location of the AstraZeneca. This is the location in the AstraZeneca, and we're also not live on LinkedIn. Don't worry about it now. This shows 50 minutes in. Is that what it is, Georgia Gilmer?

She says, yes. Is it the location of the Astrozenica? Rebecca Maupin-Simmons watching the program. She says, they've been sending us free tickets to games through email this year. Four tickets per family. First time I've seen this in the 21 years I've had, kids at Amar County Public Schools. I can't remember a time you couldn't get a ticket to a home game. Yeah. No, she says, I can remember a time you couldn't get a ticket to a home game.

You want to go to the, you want to know an incredible hack. Is this your first comment? Rebecca Maupin-Simmons on the show? I just sent you a friend request. Is this your first comment? Welcome to the family, if it is. I think we have multiple first-time commenters here. I, you want to know a football hack? You wait to two or three minutes after kickoff. You stand relatively close to the gate, one of the entrances, including the one closest to dirty Nellies.

And you find the ticket scalpers, and the ticket scalpers, ladies and gentlemen, will sell you a ticket for like five bucks. Fantastic seats. Tickets easy, peasy, Sunday, breezy to come on by. What other headlines we miss in here, J-Dubs?

The article you reference right there is from weeks ago. No, it's not. Cite your source. 29 news. They had a live feed going on, but I'm guessing the announcement is over now. What's the timestamp on that news source? It's from October 9, 2025. Not

Yonkin announced AstraZeneca will be establishing a new facility in Hamilton County. This is a developing story. So is it the location? Is it 29? Is it north of town? Is it the Injic? Rivenna Station, Rivana Futures.

For AstraZeneca, is that where we're looking? North Point, Norfolk. That would make the most sense. That would be the lead of any show that the governor's in town for a major announcement of economic development. Yeah. But not today. All right. Any other headlines we didn't get to at the 121 marker of the I Love Seville Show?

Let's see. How can the city incentivize economic development? Here's something for us to digest on as a family, viewers and listeners. Viewers and listeners, we'll have this. I digest this as a family. Now that the city has earmarked 2,000 Holiday Drive for its new homeless campus, we're going to call it a campus for the homeless. We're not going to call it a shelter. City manager, Sam Sanders, and City Council, I want you to not use the word shelter.

I want you to call it a campus. Because the campus offers connotations of hand up. and offers connotations of assimilation, of learning, of maturation, of improving, of becoming a better version of yourself. Those are connotations of campus. Okay? Now that we've called 2000 Holiday Drive, the houseless campus, and we'll come up with a catchy name for it, we then have to ask ourselves, what are the next steps to stimulate economic development in the city when we know all the sales tax collection levers are down and in the red meals tax lodging tax sales tax tourism foot traffic all of them city home values you live in the
