Welcome to the I Love Seville Show, guys. My name is Jerry Miller. Thank you kindly for joining us on a Monday in downtown Charlottesville. We're in our building, the Macklin building on Market Street, right in the heartbeat of a region we call Central Virginia. These eight blocks downtown Charlottesville, the most important in the region. Have they seen some tough times? Yes, they have. Is there a significant upside here?

Absolutely there is. and I'm comfortable on that hill. The 50-year anniversary for downtown Charlottesville is next year. And city council, Sam Sanders, city hall are feeling pressure from a lot of folks in this community about improving the quality of life, the safety, the approachability of these eight blocks that we call downtown Charlottesville. And I learned, and you should memorize this number, that there are 240 houseless individuals in this community,

240. And I had a conversation over the weekend about the 240 homeless in this community and asked this question, how do we offer a hand up, not a handout, but a hand up to these 240 people without deprioritizing,

without offering significant support for this downtown Charlottesville ecosystem that is struggling right now. Both can be done. You can offer a hand up to 240 houseless and the supply chain of nonprofits that siphon their fundraising dollars off to 240, while also supporting tailwinding and championing the business district of an entire region. We'll unpack that on today's show. There's a nonprofit locally, ladies and gentlemen, that wants the city of Charlottesville to approve one, two, and three camping sites in Charlottesville City. I'll say that again.

The Blue Ridge Area Coalition for the Homeless wants Sam Sanders, City Council, and City Hall to approve one, two, and three camping sites. These are tent cities in a 10.2 square mile city. Let's unpack that on today's program. We'll unpack on today's program the fact that Charlottesville Public Schools, this according to research, released very recently from Virginia Public Access Project, Public Schools in Charlottesville Spend, this is an astronomical number. It caught me off guard. Nearly $31,000, ladies and gentlemen, nearly $31,000, $30,736 to be exact. on each student per year. To put that in perspective, tuition at St. Ann's Bellfield Academy,

a Tony prestigious, premier, prominent, private school in Charlottesville, one of the most expensive, if not the most expensive, in the city in Almaro County. A middle school student from fifth to eighth grade tuition is 34K, upper school, 38K. The public schools are flirting with St. Ann's Belfield yearly tuition. Lower school at Stab, 31K. The spend for each student in public schools in Charlottesville is synonymous with the tuition for a kindergartner to fourth grade student at St. Ann's Belfield Academy. This data online, you can find it yourself. I just did a basic Google search, St. N. Belfield Academy tuition.

We're going to unpack this storyline on the I Love Seville Show. Ladies and gentlemen today, including former Mayor Nakaya Walker's commentary. Say what you want about Nakaya Walker, but goodness gracious, she's got comments on everything. And that offers content and conversation on the water cooler of Charlottesville and Central Virginia, the I Love Seville Show. We'll talk on today's program about the UVABOV, in particular, the rector. and vice rector offering the cold shoulder to Senator Creed's. Senator Creedits at this very moment, and I hope Senator Creedits hears this. Looks like he has been emasculated of power.

He offers pretty much a demand. He says, Rachel Sheridan, rector of UVA Board of Visitors. Porter Wilkinson, vice rector of UVA Board of Visitors. I got 46 questions for you, and I want you to answer them by, was it at the 15th of August? By the 15th of August. You will, Senator Creed said, give me answers to these 46 questions, specifically the role you played with the ouster of Jim Ryan as president at the University of Virginia. What role did you play with the Department of Justice and the Trump administration with force, the resignation of Jim Ryan at UVA.

Rachel Sheridan, Porter Wilkinson. They said, creedids, we're not going to give you the time of day. We're not going to answer your questions. It's like the guy who goes up to the cheerleader in high school and asks her on a date. That's creededs. The cheerleader looks at creedides in the hallway next to the locker. she puts her Patagonia bookpack

over her shoulder she grabs her trapper keepers do they have trapper keepers these days she grabs her iPhone 16 she puts her earbuds in and in the words of Alicia Silverstone from Clueless

as if creedits and turns her shoulder walks down the hallway while popping her bubble gum and sending a couple snapchats to her posse for creed deeds to just be wobbly need next to the locker shot down the senator from virginia a lot we're going to cover on the program ladies and gentlemen including tony elliott and virginia football a heartbreaking loss to the nc state wolf pack a win on the

fingertips of chandler morris the transfer quarterback gunslinger throws an interception and the final seconds of Saturday's game and interception in the end zone to dash the comeback hopes of UVA, to shatter the hearts of Wahoo Nation, and to likely drive an empty stadium into Saturday's matchup against the lowly William and Mary Tribe and former coach Mike London. Virginia now one-in-one. That NC State contest was critical to help Virginia get bowl eligible. They should beat the tribe in Stanford as they head into a week five matchup against nationally ranked Florida State Friday night. Ladies and gentlemen, Florida State, National Television, Scott Stadium.

So much to cover on the program. Like and share the program, like and share the program. Judah Wickhauer behind the camera.

Before I get into the nitty-gritty, I want to pass this along to you. Our firm and our partners are prepared to invest in the next great experiential business or restaurant that wants to come on market. If you have an idea for a restaurant concept, if you have an idea for an experiential business, whether it's sports, whether it's fitness, whether it's health, something not done in Charlottesville that you'd like to bring in market. We have the space for you to do it.

We have capital and we want to help you come to market. My DMs are open. I'm easily found online. Phone number, DMs, email. Contact me. We are prepared to do this now with the launch potentially

of the first quarter of next year. Judah Wickhauer, two shot. I ask you the same question. I ask you to start every program. a wise Judah Woodcower, a sage Judah Whitcower. No, he did not stay at a holiday in express last night, but the man is reasonable and level-headed with his commentary, except if it's about setting the Charlottesville City homeless to the Almaro County office building site,

where goodness gracious over the weekend did people come out of the woodwork and say, what was Judah thinking? That's a great idea. What was Judah thinking? Tell me one idea that somebody's come up with is better than that. City of Charlottesville is going to jettison its 240 homeless to the greens and the acres of Albar County and its owned office building across from the Wendy's.

Jettison is your word. That's what they would be doing. City of Charlottesville, I'm going to give you the 240 house list to populate the downtown mall and send them to Almara County, create a tent city on your land at the office building. How's your idea? I mean that was your idea

yeah that was your idea I give you props I think you do very reasonable things I don't think the city necessarily has to send them there I think it's a great place for the homeless to go you think they don't need the city's approval

we don't need to go down this rabbit hole okay sending the homeless to live outside the building that runs Almaro County is a good idea you keep saying sending if you want to misrepresent it fine we'll talk about something else

how am i misrepresenting it nobody's saying that we're going to cart them over there and the fact of the matter is it's two blocks from where they're currently congregating you make it sound like we're sending them to the far reaches of the virginia countryside or something put this uh lower third on screen the uh the lower thirds if you could on screen um in regards to the houseless pocket population. The Blue Ridge Area Coalition for the Homeless, this is a crazy story. Get ready for this, ladies and gentlemen. The Blue Ridge Area Coalition for the Homeless, a nonprofit, Judah, right? This nonprofit's entire business model, and don't let anyone in the world tell

you that a nonprofit is not a business. Don't let anyone in the world tell you that a church is not a business. Folks may be, was it a 501? C3. They may be a nonprofit on their tax return, but they need the same thing that all businesses need. Money. And that money pays their staff, their executive directors, their staff, their rent, their mortgage, their utilities, allows them to grow their concept. So there's a non-profit locally, the Blue Ridge Area Coalition for the Homeless. Brack, is that the acronym? Yeah. Brack, who is now demanding that the city of Charlottesville allocate three designated camping sites

for the 240 people that are houseless in the Charlottesville area. Not only demanding three designated area camping sites, but they want each cherry-picked location to be equipped with infrastructure to accommodate the roughly 240 people and their intentions to live there year-round. I'm boggled by this. I wouldn't say Florida and flabbergastin,

but I would say my radar is up that a nonprofit that siphons fundraising dollars on a concept surrounded on the homeless, is utilizing its perceived goodwill and community equity to potentially strong-armed city hall into three designated camping sites for 240 people that are facing hardship right now. Unpack the story, your commentary first,

I won't interrupt, and boy, oh boy, do I have a lot to say. My story, I mean, about what's going on with this, the B-R-A-C-H Blue Ridge Area Coalition for the Homeless, as you stated, is pretty much demanding of Sam Sanders and City Council that they come up with three city-owned spaces for people experiencing homelessness to officially be permitted to camp

and goes on to, whether you want to call it demand, or layout that each of these areas should be on a Charlottesville area transit stop, have a maximum number of people who can stay there. So that's what, 80 a person. If you want three, there's 240 called 80 a pop. And she called for a working group to be convened to identify solutions, who will, of course, be working on their own time and pay.

I'm somewhat being facetious there because I'm sure if we do convene something along these lines I don't get the joke they'll probably get paid which means it will be paying for this and I mean that's the demand does anyone that's watching and listening to this program

in real time or at your leisure on demand find it absolutely curious at best maybe infuriating more likely that a nonprofit who makes its

living on siphoning fundraising dollars from a homeless business model a business model around the homeless is now in the wake of Tuesday's catastrophic council meeting that was more zoo and pen and open a help me with the word um zoo and chaos pandemonium then civility and order that now they're coming out not even a week later saying we demand three camping sites and we want taxpayer dollars

to cover the cost associated with those three camping sites, and we want you to equip the three camping sites with infrastructure for 80 people roughly to live at each camping site. What's that structure? Are we talking porter pottys? Are we talking regular sweeping and cleaning and maintenance? Are we talking policing? Are we talking improved lighting?

Are we talking tent contributions? And how is this, ladies and gentlemen, any difference different than Sandersville? The 10th city that was birthed in Market Street Park, when newly minted at the time city manager, Sam Sanders, said, I want to take an empathetic approach to managing the homeless, took the curfew away from Market Street Park, arguably the most visible park in all of the city, to watch a few days thereafter. 30 plus tents pop up and the gateway to the downtown mall drawing the ire and the fury of the downtown business community and residents goodness it wasn't just a business community it's just homeowners like tenants and homeowners alike how's it different judah

how's it different didn't we go through this already compare and contrasts sandersville to what the blue ridge area coalition of the homeless is trying to do here I mean, I'm not even sure they have an idea themselves. They don't, I mean, obviously they haven't listed actual spaces because I don't know that there are any. Oh, there's plenty of spaces this could work for. Plenty of spaces where you could house, where you could put 80 people? Easily. There was 80 people in Market Street Park, dude.

There were 30 plus tents. Multiple people per tent. There was easily 80 people in Market Street Park. The city yard in the Star Hill neighborhood. goodness gracious that's a vast acreage that's underutilized in the heart of the city on the bus route close to everything the city yard i mean they're literally if you walk through the star hill neighborhood it's adjacent to west haven so that's where the beef is going to be you you think ladies and gentlemen that west haven is raising beef right now the public housing with a developer proposing an apartment

tower for uva students that would cast a significant and vast shadow over public housing west haven apartments that would lease for $3,000, $4,000, $5,000 a month to students living on mommy and daddy's black Amex? Do you think that would create drama? Wait till you consider the city yard site that's extremely underutilized. Extremely underutilized for housing for 80 people. Wait till you see what happens there. That's when you really see hypocrisy with not in my backyard.

There are significant locations where this could work. We've identified one on High Street where Wendell Woods, mud, pile. His mudslide was purchased for a million plus dollars by Charlottesville City. As the fixer texted me last week, don't forget the Carlton mobile home park where the city offered a bridge loan. Goodness gracious, to Habitat for Humanity, Sunshine Maython, into, no, sunshine from PHA, Dan Rosenzwegg from Habitat from Humanity and Sunshine from PHA. Remember the bridge loan? Carlton Mobile Home Park? There's another potential site. I could rattle off sites left and right if you like me to.

Aren't there still people there? There are, but it's not at capacity. It's not the best use of what it could be from a density standpoint. That's why the developer was thinking about building apartment towers there, right? Apartment tower is certainly more dense and more efficient use than trailer parks. I could continue. Is it brazen for BRAC? Is it Balzy for BRAC?

The Blue Ridge Area Coalition for the homeless. Brazen and Balsey for them to. bark orders and demands of City Hall for three homeless camping sites mere hours after

a lunatic city council meeting where the natives were running the meeting where Juan Diego Way looked weak with his control of the meeting. I think it's exactly because of that meeting

that it's not braised and that they're asking for anything. They're just, I think, following what they see happening around them. And that's the world we live in right now. Do you see, ladies and gentlemen, he's making the point for me. Judah just made the point for me. Do you see what happened on Tuesday when Juan Diego Wade and Brian Pinkston and Lloyd-Sinook and Natalie Oshorn and Michael Payne,

when they asked the city man, and the city attorney and the police chief and staff in city hall, they asked them to create a framework for camping in Charlottesville, a framework for managing the houseless population and their ability to camp in public spaces. They asked their staff, their upper management, the police chief, the city attorney, they asked the city manager to create an ordinance

in April. And then when it was presented in September, ladies and gentlemen, city council went silent and did not stand up for the police chief. And no one on that dais even raised their hand and said it was us that wanted the ordinance to happen. So when city council at that moment looks weak

and scared and timid, where the bully, those that are in attendance that influence the council and the policy that they were presiding over, when the bully in the schoolyard realizes that, oh my gosh, they gave me an inch. I'm going to take another inch. I'm going to take a mile.

Now we've got a nonprofit that is demanding city hall and city council give it three designated camping spots and provide infrastructure for those three-tenth-city locations. We went on Tuesday from having an ordinance to manage camping and sheltering and the possessions in public spaces. of 240 people in a 10.2 square mile city to now not even a week later, a nonprofit trying to strong-arm local government and giving it three designated locations backed by taxpayer dollars and resources,

and then infrastructure with water, with bathrooms, with policing, with lighting, with cleaning, and potentially tenting. That, ladies and gentlemen, is the schoolyard bully getting an inch on Monday. shaking you down for your Welch's fruit snacks. On Tuesday, shaking you down for your Welch's fruit snacks and your Twinkie. On Wednesday, shaking you down for your Welch's fruit snacks, your Twinkies, and your Cool Ranch Doritos. And then on Thursday, saying, just give me your Wolverine lunchbox and the thermos.

You're not going to eat for the rest of the school year. That's what happened. Eventually, what's got to happen, because you're a leader, and leaders make tough decisions. You know, everyone, I have this conversation over the weekend. You know what separates, you know what one of the key characteristics of a good leader is? A good leader is able to hedge risk, a good leader is able to see risk ahead. A good leader is able to make decisions that the populace doesn't find.

popular. A good leader is able to have thick skin. A good leader is able to determine the direction of where someone's going to go. And a good leader is able to utilize the word no. And I haven't seen this city council utilize the word no. Take the verbal arrows and the verbal bullets from the activists and say, this is the direction we're going to go with Charlottesville. They certainly left their police chief out to dry. They left the head of the business district out to dry. The business lobbying group out to dry. Yeah.

Three locations. Anything you want to add to that? Jim Hingley also had this to say for you, Judah. This was over the weekend. I trust Jim Hingley. Walk by the studio this morning. Had a fantastic hat on and looked super sharp, the Commonwealth's attorney. And then we'll open it up to comments and your commentary viewers and listeners.

He, over the weekend, sent me a photo. At the Jefferson School, at the Jefferson School, there's signage that's posted at the Jefferson School. Okay. You know where the Jefferson School is, right? Where Staples, right next to Staples. Yeah. Where Shabine used to be, now it's the Barbecue Joint Vision Barbecue. Yeah.

Gateway to downtown. The Jefferson School has signage posted on its parking lot. There's a big parking lot there that's covered. Okay. That parking lot that's covered at the Jefferson School would make it a phenomenal encampment site because it's covered. They're shelter from inclement weather. Okay.

But the signage at the Jefferson School says effective August 14th, 2023, and here's the sign. Can they see it? Jim texted this to me. He saw the sign. I'll read it to the viewers and listeners. The sign says any personal items found on the premises of the Jefferson School will be permanently discarded. So the Jefferson School will permanently discard any possessions found on their property. Geez, Louise, this ordinance offered 60 days of storing the homeless possessions.

They're already doing it, so I would guess that the 60 is just a number, and they're probably going above and beyond that. But the Jefferson School, a historically African-American school, is saying, you leave your possessions here. We're going to take them and throw them away. The framework of the ordinance that Mike Cottes presented before counsel said, we'll store them for 60 days. And before we store them for 60 days, we'll give you 10 days notice to get off public property from camping. As long as there's nothing dangerous. The Jefferson School says, if you camp here, we're going to take your stuff right away and throw it in the trash.

Mike Cottes and the framework he presented said, we'll give you 10 days to transition from your current camping site and then store for free your possessions. Okay. Mr. Hingley continues. I saw this sign when I was attending an event at the Jefferson School African American Heritage Center. The sign was posted in the lower covered parking area. I don't have any way of knowing, but it strikes me that the sign may have posted, may have been posted to discourage people from leaving personal belongings in the parking area, which at times is sparsely used and is, as I say, protected from the weather. Also, you know that parking area is close to the downtown mall. Whatever, Jim Hinchley's words, whatever the reason for the sign, it illustrates that property owners are free to control, restrict the use of their property. That is the point I was making on Friday show in reference to the idea that the county office building lawn, Judah's

idea, could be used as an encampment. Only uses permitted by the property owner could be established in that space. Even though the lawn is owned by a public entity, in this case, Almorel County, the owner is entitled to control, restrict the use of that space. We can all agree that Almorel County is not going to allow an encampment on the lawn of the county office building. He continues, the issue you have been discussing this week concerns restrictions on what has already been designated as public space, such as the downtown mall and public trails along the Rivana River.

This is far different from the question of what property owners such as the Jefferson School and Almore County may do to control restrict the use of property they. own. And space already designated as open to the general public, the law, as chief conscious indicated on your show, is far from clear that one group such as the unhoused can be told to move along, while another group of users do not have to move along. Average Joe's and average salaries that are spending their money on them all. Lastly, he says, hence the interest, I believe, in an ordinance that provided a framework for eliminating what otherwise might be characterized as unequal treatment of different individuals

using space open to the public at large. So here's the crux of where we're at. You're ready for this? Yeah. One of the smartest guys I know. You agree? Yeah. I mean, two-term commonwealth's attorney. The crux of this is the usage or how you use the public space. Yeah. We can go in the public space, and we can, in the public space, have a fabulous dinner at the whiskey jar. Go to a fantastic concert at the Southern. When the doors let out at the Southern, we can drink Kraft Emperor of Clouds, cold beers at Jack Browns. head over to the Fitzroy for

Scotch on the Rocks and finish by listening to live music at Cecilia and Mike's rapture where we take shots, drink beers, and leave at 2 a.m. We can be blitz out of our mind, Uber home, not drive, Uber home, and be totally within the law. Almost blackout drunk, if you want.

to. Uber whole and be totally fine. But someone cannot camp and sleep on them all overnight. Currently they can. That's the crux of it. Your usage, your ability to use the public space. And all conscious wanted to do was create a framework for usage. I mean, it wasn't even conscious. Conscious was just doing so at the behest of the city council. Thank you for clearing that up. Council told him to do this. Cautius did not come up with this on his own. Counsel instructed them to do it.

And then waffled about whether or not they did. In fact, you can waffle some more in this article here. Bingo. And because counsel waffle, because they got wobbly need,

because they showed that they were able to be bullied, Now a nonprofit organization whose entire mission is to support and offer resources for the homeless, you can look at it support and offer resources, others may look at it as monetizing the homeless to cover their staff and their overhead, is now on record hours after that meeting demanding three sites in the city for 240 people to equally be split. and those three sites to have infrastructure and taxpayer resources allocated to them.

That's not a coincidence. That's not a coincidence. That is a direct reflection of city council looking like they were weak in saying, like they were weak and sad and unable to be leaders of merit. It will get worse before it gets better. But I'm still significantly bullish because the conversation that was had Tuesday

was the step in the direction of a boiling pot of water. The water is boiling over. eventually someone's going to have to turn off the stove and clean up the mess. And we're in that stage of the stove being cleaned up, the stove being turned off. And it's a perfect segue. And comments are coming in quickly. Let's get to comments. Viewers and listeners, let us know your thoughts.

Put them in the feet. I'll relay them live on here. You have thoughts, Judah. Anything? I mean, I think it's wild that BRACH is offering strongly awarded suggestions to city council. I'm still flabbergasted that city council is pretending like, they just don't have a, they don't have a consistent story. in the article here Michael Payne

City Councilor Michael Payne is quoted this saying the buck stops with city council in terms of where things come from when the city manager presented his original plan for homelessness part of it was banning camping as a possible

policy the decision at that time was we will not explore this until a permanent year-round shelter actually exists so were they not exploring that by having an ordinance drafted? I don't understand.

And anyways, it's just a mess. They clearly don't have a plan. They've got one tool, which is, well, maybe they've got two tools. They've got building more houses, which we've talked about and hasn't happened, and probably won't happen anytime soon. and we've got the Salvation Army thrift store that is

the city is thankfully not paying for because the thrift store is still open and not being used and nobody wants to use the Salvation Army site at least nobody in the neighborhood so we've got almost going on

two years since they announced that they were going to build a shelter and we are, as far as I'm aware, not really that much closer to having a shelter. But let's put off any other action.

Let's put off putting any other tools in our toolbox and just lay all our hopes on more housing and a shelter. Curtis Shaver watching the program. Happy birthday, Curtis Shaver. I believe his birthday was yesterday.

One of the most kind-hearted, beloved, likable, approachable, beautiful souls in Charlottesville. Always an inner circle front, Curtis Shaver. I sincerely mean that. Love this guy. Happy birthday. He says, Jerry, Jerry, Jerry,

please don't whisper. A-S-M-R makes me cringe like nails on a chalkboard. Conan Owen watching the program. Conan's the owner of Sir Speedy of Central Virginia. If you need signage work done, Conan Owen and Surveedia Central Virginia is who you call. In fact, Conan Owens coming to the Macklin Building tomorrow, Tuesday, to help us with even more signage needs. Logos, signage, window decals, direct mail, pamphlets, trifolds, lanyards. This banner behind me is Conan Own of Surveedia, Central Virginia.

He says, an encampment will allow for better control of the homeless. it will not provide them homes. But the sooner we move them off the downtown mall and into an encampment, I believe it will shame the community into moving on to the low barrier shelter. The NIMBYs will be shouted down. My concern, Conan, and it's a very good point,

my concern, Conan, with the three approved camping sites that are infrastructureed for the houseless, is it will draw more houseless to the area. It's known mid-Atlantic wide that Charlottesville's a great place if you want to pursue this lifestyle or you're in a state of bad luck. If three camping sites are approved and tents are allowed and porter pottys are

provided and other resources and infrastructure are offered, other houseless will come to Charlottes because of that. That's my concern. He makes a point. It removes them from the mall. allows business to continue and it may encourage a low-barrier shelter to be developed, but that certainly will be a Pandora's box. My two cents. Now, it's a really

good segue into this topic. Janice Boyceivian watching the program. She said, Judah, we rode by the Amaros site you talked about on Friday, and there are some people sleeping there. Oh, see, it's already started. There are some people sleeping there. this comment comes in from John Blair

Jerry I know it might surprise folks but I don't think Judah and the nonprofits are off base the city council has now made it clear that it does not support law enforcement involvement with the homeless population and also doesn't sound like the city is close to opening a low barrier shelter given those policy and operational issues

then I don't know what that a public camping ground is the worst idea again it might not be my first choice which is a low barrier shelter but given the realities, what are the alternatives? It's clear that downtown mall business owners aren't happy with the current reality. If law enforcement, a low barrier shelter, and just letting people sleep on the downtown mall are not realistic options,

is a public camping ground that far-fetched? No, it's not. So if a public camping ground is not that far-fetched, does that mean a public camping ground will be positioned next to the Rivana River on the land owned by the city with the purchase from Wendell Wood on High Street? Does it mean it will be positioned at the site of the city yard next to West Haven?

Will the land next to Tonsler Park be utilized? Will court square be utilized next to the courthouses? The city, the county is not going to say, if you build it, they will come by the Almore County office building. The Commonwealth's attorney said, I read you his message. Of course, that's not going to happen. That's one of the people that's going to determine whether that happens or not. That person.

He's like, of course, that's not going to happen. Well, if there are already people sleeping there, I've been by the Almore County office building many times to say that there's already people sleeping there as a stretch. There might be one or two people hanging out there, but it's not an encampment. I'm here seven days a week, including dropping our kid off at 7.30 in the morning.

Already then? Yeah. There's not an encampment there. Okay. I don't think anyone said there was. And there's no way Amaro County is going to allow that. Okay. I'm not sure how they're going to stop it if it happened.

It's private property. You put up a sign and say you can't do this, just like the Jefferson School. Okay. How's that any different than what the Jefferson School did? You're the one that brought up the Jefferson School? I didn't bring it up. Jim Hinchley brought it up. Okay.

He said, here's an example of what can be done. Okay. I didn't bring that up. All right, fine. I mean, yeah, that's the power of signage, I guess. The power of property rights, not signage. It's the power of property rights. Lots to cover.

It's the 119 marker. We got a 1.30 meeting here. We should talk about the public school spend. Did you find it as an astronomical number? Charlottesville spends, what's the exact dollar? about? And if you can put those lower thirds on screen, please? You're adding together the... Well, of course

you would add them together. What's the exact dollar amount? I don't have the... I've got the... It's on the lower third that you're putting on screen. Oh, okay. $30,736? $18,495 on instructional costs plus $12,241 on

other per student costs. For a total of $30,000, how much? 30,000 736. $30,700 plus dollars Charlottesville Public Schools is spending per kid per year. I'm going to give that number again to you. This is conversation for your cocktail and charcutory party. Charlottesville Public Schools is spending

basically $31,000 per student per year. I'm going to use a barometer of St. Anne's Bellfield Academy, prestigious, premier, Prominent. St. Ann's Bellfield Academy, a student from kindergarten to fourth grade, that's the same amount of tuition, $31,000 for private school. Charlottesville Public Schools is spending $31,000 a year per student, ladies and gentlemen.

This according to research, and you can find it online, from the Virginia Public Access Project. Ginny Who says you can provide a much better education for a child, for far less than that. Deep throat who's on his way to Paris watching the program. He says he was taking a deep dive on this over the week. I love his commitment to details and stats.

I respect that about him. Says, on the school spending, the instructional spending is high, but not the highest in the Commonwealth. He's right. The highest is Arlington. Charlottesville Public Schools are number two. The second highest spend per student

the Commonwealth of Virginia is Charlottesville Public Schools. Number two in the Commonwealth is Charlottesville Public Schools. Two lower throats you can rotate on screen. Deep Throat says where Seville City Schools are massively above others in spending is administration and operational facilities. Then he shares a bunch of charts and data points with us, which we will share tomorrow on the show. And here's the crazy one. OPEX maintenance. I was wondering if there was direct expense expensing of buford but i checked back to 2021 and charlesville city public school's spending was way above virginia average even then long before the buford school reconfiguration he says w tf now is spending high because we pay teachers more no it's not is it because of

smaller classes not really he says he says the reason spending per student is so high is because SIVO has a more challenge. Is it because, man, he's got a lot of data here? It's because of administrative bloat and the cost to maintain. And we'll share these data points on tomorrow's program. There's like eight or nine charts that we should show on screen tomorrow. I'm not really surprised. I mean...

And this is the same administration that was politicking and pushing for the Federal Executive Institute, which would have been a piece of real estate that would have been the most expensive to upkeep and maintain, a former hotel that was going to require more than a million dollars a year just in maintenance costs. And upkeep, yeah. So, as we get off this topic,

another piece of content and conversation for your cocktail in Charcotter at your party in Charlottesville and in Central Virginia. I'm a big fan of alliteration. there's 240 homeless in the area that's a stat for you Charlottesville is number two in the Commonwealth public schools

with the cost per pupil per year at just under $31,000 per pupil that $31,000 allocation per pupil is synonymous with what it costs to attend St. Anne's Belfield kindergarten through fourth grade think about that

next headline juda wickhauer what do you got i got a meeting in six minutes oh let's see um ready to invest in experiential businesses should see i highlighted this if you have an experiential business or restaurant you're looking to bring to market dm me call me email me we have space and resources where we can help you come to market. I'm not looking for fly-by-nights here. Business models and sensibility and experience are what we're looking here. I think CREDIDS is the next headline.

Yeah. UVA, B-O-V, cold shoulders, send CREDEs. So Senator CREDIDS sent an investigative letter to, UVA, Board of Visitors rector, Rachel Sheridan, and Vice Rector Porter Wilkinson. And Creed said, hey, ladies, before you were the rector and vice rector, but while you were on the Board of Visitors, I'm hearing that you two gals were the lynchpins

on getting Jimbo Ryan oustered from Carseill and UVA. and ladies, Rachel and Porter, I want to know what you did behind the scenes to potentially backstab Jimbo in caho with the Department of Justice in Donald Trump. And here's 46 questions. I got an August 15th deadline. I'm giving you a week's notice, many weeks notice, multiple weeks notice to answer these 46 questions. And goodness gracious, I'm a senator in Virginia, and this is a public university in my Commonwealth, and I'm doing my darnest to stand up to voters and taxpayers, and to

stand up for what I think is right, and potentially federal overreach by Donald Trump and the Department of Justice with pushing Jim Ryan out of office. So Rachel and Porter Wilkinson, the vice rector and the rector, they're like, you know what? We're going to wait till the last day, August 15th. And on August 15th, we're going to tell Senator Creed's and his suit and his glasses, see him walking up and down the mall, we're going to tell him, we're going to give you the cold shoulder. We know you asked us out on a proverbial date and want to go into the drive-in movie theater with us

to watch Back to the Future 2 and your 87 cutlass with the top down while you're sneaking some cold beer, from the backseat cooler, but we want nothing to do with you. As if Alicia Silverstone and Clueless turned around while Cree Deeds is asking them questions. They say, we're not talking to you. They walk down the hallway, start Snapchat and the rest of the ladies on the cheerleading team. That's what happened. Now Cree Deeds is left doing this. Well, goodness gracious, they call my bluff.

Now I've got to wait to see who wins the governor's race. And if Spamberger gets in office, maybe I have the merits. and foundation for malfeasance to potentially push Sheridan and Wilkinson out of the B.O.V. Because they didn't respond to a state senator's investigation. Is that pretty much how it's playing out now? Could be. Is this now the foundation for Creed Eads to go to Spamburger

who clearly is a front runner to win this race to say, hey, in August, I gave him a deadline of August 15th to answer these 46 questions. They ignored me. I'm a state senator. I want you to utilize this cold shoulder, this snubbing, as the basis and the merit to ouster them as rector and vice rector. As we reshape the BOV in this now Spamberger Democratic Virginia mold,

time will tell. But right now, Cree Deeds looks weak. super weak like the guy who got snubbed and cold shoulder by the cheerleader next to the locker room next headline and it's the last one ladies and gentlemen and we'll talk about it in detail at 10 15 a.m. tomorrow with the jerry and jerry show tony elliott and virginia football suffered a tough loss in raleigh against nc state this was a game that virginia should have won virginia and tony were up at half time. They were up 24 to 14 at half time.

Then coming out of the locker room in the third quarter, the Wolfpack, posted 21 points to Virginia 7. NC State outscored UVA by 14 points in the third period to win this game, to steal this game, to shatter the hearts of Wahoo Nation, 35 to 31. Chandler Morris threw an interception in the final seconds of this contest in the end zone as the UVA was driving in a two-minute offense that looked efficient, prolific, and dynamic.

This team, Jamari Taylor, the running back, a North Carolina Central transfer, Chandler Morris, Trell Harris, Cam Ross, the wide receivers, a deep running back, contingent, and a protective offensive line looks dynamic on the offensive side of the ball. Defense looks shaky at best. and Tony Elliott, that was a win he needed because if this man doesn't get to minimum six wins, and I'm hearing at seven, six if you beat Virginia Tech, seven if you

lose to Virginia Tech. If this man doesn't get to that scenario, he's out. Because going into the season, he had the least amount of wins over the last three years of any coach in power football. It was a heartbreaking loss. And what Jerry Rackleff and I

said was the most important game on the schedule. Because that allowed Virginia to get four and O going into that week five matchup against Florida State. I got a 1.30 meeting, which I'm officially late to, but that's okay. My name is Jerry Miller. This is the I Love Seville Show, the water cooler of conversation and content in Charlottesville and in central Virginia. Thank you for joining us.

Thank you.
