Welcome to the I Love Seville Show, guys. My name is Jerry Miller. Thank you kindly for joining us. We appreciate you watching the program on a Friday. A lot I want to cover on the program. I want to talk the debate we had this morning with Fred Missal and Scott Smith at the Samuel Miller District, both candidates running for a seat on the Almar County Board of Supervisors. I live in the Samuel Miller District.

It is the largest district in Almar County. It's the wealthiest district in Alamara County. It's the most rural district in Almaral County. And it's the only district in Almoreal County that has a contested election, ladies and gentlemen, with a Republican, Scott Smith and a Democrat Fred Missal going toe to toe in a race that's going to be determined in early November. We'll talk response and reaction to the Fred Missile Scott Smith debate from today on Real Talk with Keith Smith. on the I Love Sebel Show. Both candidates, similar in a lot of ways, ladies and gentlemen,

but there are some key differences that came up on the program yesterday. I want to talk on today's program, Chief Mike Kachis. I hope he's watching the program. He watches from time to time. We have tremendous respect for Chief Kachis. As you, the viewer and listener know, we jokingly call him the George Clooney of policing, but we admire his work from afar.

I hope Mike Kachis hears that. He has done more positive good for this community, since taking the job, then frankly, few, if any, people. And there's a lot of positive players in this community. Don't get me wrong. But Mike Cottius has brought a sense of security and safety to the community taking a job when gun violence was rampant. Now that gun violence is down.

Still, we have our troublemakers. And one of those troublemakers, ladies and gentlemen, is in custody. A troublemaker tied to multiple shooting incidents. and his name is Anthony Hopkins, a 20-year-old who has been arrested in connection with the July 4th shooting that left five people injured on Orangedale Avenue, ladies and gentlemen. This man, Hopkins, is also facing charges in Almorel County in connection with a May 24th shooting at the Brookdale Apartments. Ladies and gentlemen, we have a young man who is 20 years old tied to two very visible acts of gun violence.

I want to talk about that on today's program. On today's show, I want to highlight rent prices, now outpacing Richmond and Norfolk. It's no secret that it's expensive to live here. But when we're able to use comparables like other cities in the Commonwealth, it really kind of puts the rent prices and how they're escalating into perspective. A lot to discuss today. We encourage you, the viewer, and listener to share the show.

Tag somebody in the comments. Share the show. look at the screen for today's headlines. I think it's going to be a good one. Judah Wickhauer, screenshots ready to rock and roll? Just about. Fantastic. I appreciate your hard work and effort.

Judah Wickhauer, give me a thumbs up when those are ready to go. Why don't you put, as I give you some time to get those screenshots on, put the headlines with the Scott Smith and Fred Missile debate and the Missile and Smith ideologies on screen, and then we'll get to the New York Times columnists that is suggesting the demise. demolishing and destruction of a Charlottesville home, an actual residence of a taxpayer and homeowner.

This New York Times columnist suggests on Blue Sky that the home should be destroyed because the New York Times columnist does not agree with the politics of the homeowner. The homeowner is Roy Van Dorn, who is one of the plaintiffs that sued the city of Charlestville in regards to the new zoning ordinance. God, this content is crazy. It is a crazy time to be alive, ladies and gentlemen. First, Missal and Smith commentary from me, and then give me the thumbs up on the screenshot. We had Fred Missal and Scott Smith on the program.

Real talk with Keith Smith this morning. A.m. show, however, the program is archived wherever you get your social media or podcasting content. It was about an hour and 15 minutes of getting to know the candidates. I don't know any other platform, any other debate. any other forum where we had one hour and 15 minutes straight without commercial, without interruption, where you, the viewer, and listener, can get to know these candidates on demand at your leisure. There is not a whole lot separating Fred Missal and Scott Smith.

Once a Democrat, once a Republican, that's a separation point. Scott Smith straight up said he is not in favor of substituting land that is outside the Almore County development area for land within the Almore County development area like Supervisor Mike Pruitt is currently pushing forward. The Almore County Development Area is limited to 5% of development. And that 5% currently is not at its full utilization rate or optimization rate as it applies to density and housing. From my standpoint, you do not expand the development area

until the 5% is at a full utilization or optimization rate with housing. I do not want our community, Almaro County, a community that I've been in for 25 years, to start looking like Northern Virginia or Fredericksburg. I choose to live here because of environmental quality of life, because of green space, because there's not a boatload of traffic, because we have peace, we have quality of life here.

And once you start expanding that development area, that area of our being starts to suffer. Both Smith and Missile said do not expand the development area. Check on that. Missal said he would consider trading out land that's outside the development area for land within the development area, but Scott Smith said absolutely not. Data Centers was another interesting talking point.

Scott Smith went on record saying no to the data centers for economic development because his constituents in the Samuel Miller District do not want it, at least that's what he's hearing. Fred Missal said, I would consider data centers for economic development in Alamara County. Data centers throttle water. Data centers cause light pollution.

Data centers while driving tax revenue are not rainbows and sunshine. So another key different point with Smith and missile is their stance on data centers where missiles indicating pro data center Smith's indicating no on the data center what's interesting that came up at the end of the show there's a school on Dudley mountain the forest school on Dunley Mountain road recently this school was approved in a 5-1 vote by the Alboro County Board of Supervisors this panel Wednesday. This private school, the Forest School on Dudley Mountain Road, was vehemently opposed by residents on and around Dudley Mountain Road, which is in the Samuel Miller District.

More than 500 people, more than 500 families signed a petition, vehemently opposed to this private school on Dudley Mountain Road. This topic, this storyline, this trend, this private school being approved on Wednesday in 5-1 capacity by the Almore County Board of Supervisors with a special-use permit may be a lightning rod or a deciding factor in this contested election. A, the private school was approved with the special use permit in the Samuel Miller District. Both candidates are running for the seat in the Samuel Miller District. B, more than 500 families sign this. You're looking at anywhere from 500 to 1,000 plus votes. That voting block that signed this petition can go a long way in determining the winner of the Samuel Miller district race. If one of the candidates is able to utilize the outrage and organization around this petition and this four school of

approval on Dudley Mountain Road in the rural area, to his advantage, that can determine the outcome of the race. That is a key point to follow, ladies and gentlemen. A key point that came up in the debate this morning on Real Talk with Keith Smith. I want to give some attention to Charlottesville Sanitary Supply. Sixty-one years in business, John Vermillion and Andrew Vermillion, Charlottesville Sanitary Supply, online at Charlottescentary Supply.com. Located, ladies and gentlemen, on High Street, John Vermillion and Andrew Vermillion, third generation business owners, the Vermilions, five generations, and now Marl County.

Charlottesville Sanitary Supply is locally owned and operated, and ladies and gentlemen, do business the right way. Judah Wickhauer, Studio Canberra, and a two-shot. I want to get your take on the debate from this morning. I would have liked it to have been a little bit more debate-ish and less conversation. However, that is not my show.

I am sitting shotgun on that show. I thought the show, nevertheless, was very good as a get-to-know-you-for-the-candidates. What struck you about Scott Smith and Fred Missal from this morning? I actually appreciated the fact that it wasn't a debate style. I don't know if that's the right style for this table, but I appreciated the fact that there was a cordial discussion. You're right, I felt like there were certainly less differences than one would often expect from, you know, from a Democrat and a Republican.

Yeah. But I appreciate that. This is Charlottesville. It's not, you know, it's not New York City. It's not Southern California. We are a blue area, but it's nice to know that. you know, that we have got some calm-headed people that can discuss the issues with each other and not devolve to mud-slinging, which to me would have been a real tragedy. And I feel hides a lot of what I really want to know about a candidate when they're not talking in the issues and they're just, you know, trying to show up or show their opponent as being, you know,

a horrible person. Watch the Smith missile conversation an hour and change wherever you get your social media or podcasting platform. You can go to I Love Seville, I Lovecville.com, real talk with keefsmith.com. It'll be posted later today and it's currently archived anywhere you get your social content. The lead of the show now that you have the screenshots

is information that was sent to me over the last few days There's a New York Times columnist, Jamel Bowie, who lives here. He's a fantastic columnist. He's a fantastic writer. He's going to end up watching and listening to what I say. First off, Jamel Bowie is a fantastic columnist for the New York Times. He's a fantastic writer.

He's a talented writer. I applaud him for his Wordsmith ability, his ability to craft compelling commentary. that creates response. That's what a columnist is supposed to do, is to generate response from his or her commentary, and Mr. Bowie's very good at doing that. He lives in Charlottesville.

He is very much on the cusp of being an activist. In fact, I would ask him if he sees himself as an activist. Some of the behavior that he posts, that some of the behavior that he shows on social media suggests to me, is an activist. No doubt. He's got a massive social media following. One of the reasons he has a massive social media following is because he's employed by what a lot of people call the world's newspaper, the New York Times. He is incredibly invested in housing locally. To say he's an ally

Jamel Bowie of livable Seaville is an understatement. I would say he's a key player in the livable seville movement, the relax zoning movement that we've seen over the last handful of of years in Charlottesville. Everything that I discussed is true and applicable. I've been presented information which we will show on screen with screenshots from the social media platform blue sky that Mr. Bowie, at least from my standpoint, has taken it too far. He is suggesting that one of the plaintiffs that is suing the city of Charlottesville, that is tied up the new zoning ordinance in red tape, court red tape, with months and years of uncertainty, months and years of quicksand progress, he has suggested that one of those plaintiffs

have his home demolished on social media. I, for one, find that distasteful. But he takes it further by suggesting some kind of conversation or backroom dealing with city council as it applies to this demolishing of this plaintiff's house. I want to start putting the screenshots on screen. First, the one that shows it's his account. I believe he's watching now or will be watching. There you see the bio of him, his employer, New York Times, the co-host of the Unclear and Present Danger podcast on TikTok on Twitch. This guy is influencer and a man of social media clout. Jamel, I'm giving you props. I understand you're not going to like everything that I say here, but what? Nearly 700,000 followers on Blue Sky, a boatload

of followers on Twitter. The man has clout and influence. He's utilizing that clout and influence to docks, a Charlottesville homeowner and someone that is in his crossfire of his ideology and politics. Okay? So the next

screenshot, I want you to put the July 1, 2025 screen shot where he says, our posts are Google searchable, right? I hope that whenever new zoning comes, we demolish Roy Van Doren's house specifically. Is that on screen? That is. Look at the screen, viewers, and listeners.

Screenshots, literally mentioning Roy Van Doren's home and demolishing it. I want you to put the next screenshot on. This is a comment from three days ago in that same blue sky chain. He says, I'm just now seeing this, but yes, this is totally a serious suggestion. I've even talked to my friends on City Council about it because it is absolutely definitely serious. And then the fourth screenshot where he highlights the conversation. with city council that he's had about demolishing Roy Van Dorn's house

because Mr. Van Dorn has opposed the new zoning ordinance. You're sensible human, Judah. What do you make of this chain? It's troubling. You know, my problem is these extreme reactions to, you know,

it's one thing if, it's one thing if if this guy Van Dorn was actively trying to like push people out of Charlottesville but suggesting that suggesting that because he bought a home

and doesn't want the the tenor the doesn't want his neighborhood to be changed that he's somehow a horrible person. I I don't think, I don't know Van Dorn personally.

I don't know anything about him or his history. I don't, did he, did he build that neighborhood? You know, it's... Van Dorn did not build the neighborhood, which he resides within. Yeah. He owns the home. And so... He's a local business person.

I know Roy. He's come on the program before. He's come on the I Love Seville show in the past. He sounds vaguely familiar. Anyways, vilifying someone for buying a home and then expecting their, neighborhood to remain at least somewhat unchanged is that you know what crazy like and i get that he doesn't like the fact that these people have uh have pushed back have uh filed suit against the city

and have caused the city a lot of trouble but these people are not the only people that had a problem with the new zoning ordinance and they just happened to be the ones that had the means and the the desire to push back and what I'm going to get off get off track but again I'm just so surprised that the city hasn't rethought the zoning ordinance at all And maybe it's because of people like this that just think that the zoning ordinance is the best thing since sliced bread and that you don't need to change perfection. Lonnie Murray watching the broadcast. He's got some comments in regards to our debate from this morning. He says what you guys did this morning on Real Talk was honestly way more respectful and much more well informed than the discussion with the Democratic primary for the Jack Jewett District.

Lonnie Murray says, I wish more candidates could be like the ones we just saw on the I Love Seville Network. We appreciate that from Lonnie Murray. John Blair this morning echoed similar thoughts about the conversation we had with Scott Smith and Fred Missel from this morning. In regards to Jamel Bowie, I have some comments. Rotate the screenshots on. You also have a second, lower third that you could put on screen. Here are my problems with this. Here are my problems with this.

I've learned this myself, okay? When you're a man or woman of influence, and Mr. Bowie is a man or woman of influence because of the size of his social media platform across all platforms, not just blue sky where he has nearly 700,000 followers, on Twitter, on all these social media platforms, his podcast, he's got a massive following. One of the reasons he's been able to accumulate such a massive following is because he's a columnist for the New York Times. His platform is as much about the content that he creates as it is his employer

and the position he has working for this employer, columnist for the world's newspaper. So when you have a platform of this size, you have to consider, and I've learned this the hard way, some of the content that you post on your platform. My platform is large and vast and big in central Virginia, in Charlottesville, and Almore County, in some parts of the Commonwealth. Mr. Bowie's platform is vast and large and influential everywhere. And when you start utilizing people's names,

Roy Van Dorn, on your social media and suggest the demolishing of his home, you're going to get people in your following. Some call them trolls, some call them hangar-ons, starting to stir up and echo what you're saying. That's dangerous, extremely dangerous. I also, ladies and gentlemen, need to highlight the most troubling aspect of this storyline,

Jamel Bowie wanting revenge on the zoning plaintiffs, is his mention of city council. Can you put that screenshot please on screen? He's legitimately, this is a New York Times journalist, a New York Times journalist, a man who understands the significance and importance of word choice. that is published on a visible social media platform. We have the receipts. Are you putting where he's talking about counsel on screen? Look at the screen.

I'm totally serious with this suggestion of demolishing Roy Van Dorence home. I have even talked to my friends on city council about it because it is absolutely definitely serious. Judah is a New York Times columnist, a taxpayer in the city of Charlottesville, utilizing the written word, which is how he makes a living, to suggest he has talk with friends, plural, multiple people on council about demolishing the home of the plaintiffs,

one of the plaintiffs that is suing the city and costing the city hundreds of thousands of dollars and tying up a zoning ordinance and putting it in a level of, of zoning purgatory where we have a long way before something is going to materialize. Is that what I'm reading correctly? He seems to be suggesting. I mean, I can't believe, I find it hard to believe that anyone on city council would take this guy seriously.

Obviously, he's a smart guy. As you said, he's a great writer. This is how he makes his living is with words, publishing words. But I can't imagine anyone on city council seriously considering something along these lines. I agree with you. So does that mean that Bowie is even? either lying, either lying about having the conversation with city council, is Bowie deranged in his thinking, or has Bowie actually had a conversation with multiple friends on city council

about demolishing a homeowner's house because that homeowner is vehemently opposed to what city hall and zoning and council and what they're trying to do? Does this mean city hall and city council need to publish a statement, have a press press conference, or issue some kind of response that says, basically, we saw what a New York Times columnist has published on blue sky. We, no one on council has had a conversation about destroying, raising, demolishing a plaintiff's home because of vengeance seeking vengeance, right? We are not tied to what he's publishing. Yeah, I mean, it could have been a one-sided conversation.

It could have been, you know, sitting around chatting and all of a sudden the person you're talking to brings up, oh, yeah, you know, we should totally get this old guy's home demolished because we don't like what he's doing. And the other person is just like, where did this come from? Honestly, you know, obviously we don't know. But it is an interesting, it's not an accusation, but admittance. and it would be nice to I don't know that I don't think city council

is going to come out with a statement but yeah it would be nice to know that a columnist for the world's newspaper is publishing on a social media platform where he has nearly 700,000 followers that he had a conspiring conversation

to demolish the home of one of the men that is suing the city over zoning that the council pushed forward. Does anyone understand how terrible a look this is? I agree with Judah. The people on council that I know, and I genuinely know, I would say Lloyd Snook fairly well.

He's my neighbor in the building that I'm sitting in right now. I see him almost every workday. I see Lloyd Snook. I genuinely say I know Juan Diego 8 I know Brian Pinkston I know Michael Payne those four men we've had on the show half a dozen times each

I think Lloyd Snook's been on the show 10 plus times I do not know Natalie Oshran I do not but the four and he's using friends plural I do know and Lloyd Snook Juan Diego Wade Michael Payne and Brian Pinkston I can speak with confidence and conviction

are not sitting down in a backroom conspiring with a New York Times columnist of how to demolish the home of a taxpayer that is opposed to their political ideology, their policy, and what they're pushing forward from the dais. I can't even imagine them entertaining the idea, though maybe they sat down with the guy and he brought it up. But we now have a columnist for the world's newspaper in front of 700,000 people on blue sky suggesting that someone's home should be destroyed because he does not agree with their politics, and then following up with that suggestion

by saying he met with elected officials, friends, plural, city council, about destroying this man's home because he's suing the city. This is wild. It is wild and not a good... This isn't like this is a... This is deranged. This isn't like that this is a columnist for, you know, I'm not trying to throw shade on another columnist here. This isn't like it's, you know, somebody publishing on their Facebook page.

This is not like, what's the guy that did the crosswalk? Oh, Kevin Cox? This isn't like Kevin Cox posting some nastiness on social media on his Facebook page. This is the New York Times, a New York Times. columnists. Comments put them in the feed. I think City Council and City Hall is in a spot right now where some kind of press release or some kind of statement needs to be made.

I think you're looking at a statement that needs to be made from City Hall that says, despite what a New York Times column is has published, a man that utilizes the spoken written word to make his living, despite what he has published. suggesting that he has met with multiple of us to conspire to destroy someone's home because the person was conspiring to destroy his home as opposed to our politics and new zoning ordinance. This is factually untrue, dangerous in its foundation, and should be discounted and disregarded. That's the statement council I think needs to make.

Comments coming in. Let's go to number one in the family, Deep Throat. His photo on screen. I think Jamel Bowie, this is Deep Throat's words. I think Jamel Bowie threatening people's houses on social media is not new. It is crappy. No other New York Times columnists could get away with it, however. But the bigger issue is his suggestion that he is conspiring with city council to actually do it.

That would be a violation of 42 U.S.C. 1983 and 1985 Phrases 3. Serious stuff. I believe, though, Bowie is talking S-H-I-T. But council needs to come out and explain otherwise. It leaves the impression that the city will retaliate against residents at the behest of activists. It would seriously chill free expression and political participation. He also highlights that Rory also serves on a city board, either the tourism or the airport board. And deep throat adds, Bowie's comments are bad even if he is lying. It does, gives the impression that he can get counsel to retaliate. City needs to come out and disavow and release all communications with Jamel Bowie. What I'm saying, this is not a Kevin Cox, no shade to Cox. This is a columnist for the world's newspaper saying that he is conspiring with city council. A man whose living is made on reporting facts, a man whose living is based on his credibility, saying he's met with counsel.

multiple council members to destroy somebody's home because they're suing the city tied to the new zoning ordinance. Georgia Gilmer's photo on screen. It's absolutely reprehensible, she says, that anyone would even have this thought. No doubt.

Print radio and television watching the program. Does counsel respond? And do we just talk this up to deranged behavior that should be ignored? That sounds like what you're saying. I mean, obviously it's not being ignored. He's got, like you said, quite a few

followers on Blue Sky. I haven't checked out what other social media platforms he's on, but it's quite a few is 684,000. What frightens me is the ease with which in today's climate

rhetoric like this goes from just rhetoric to somebody deciding to take action. we see from you know we see just recently

there were multiple people beaten in I believe it was what's it was it Cincinnati the fact of the matter is that what happens when the wrong person reads this and decides that you know this is

this is good and right and honorable based on their their own internal code or whatever and decides to take action against, you know, against someone like Van Dorn or someone else. That's not the kind of action, and this is not the kind of rhetoric. We should be countenancing anywhere, but especially not in Charlottesville. who's got a long history of

behavior and rhetoric like this. I'm not surprised. Holly Foster, how can he threaten a private homeowner like that? With all the crazy people in the world, someone could take this, take his opinion,

and try to do something to his house. Exactly. That's 100% Holly. 684,000 followers on blue sky. Just that platform alone. Yeah. Does Mr. Bowie issue an apology? Oh.

Or retraction? Not unless somebody forces him to. Does the New York Times force Mr. Bowie to issue an apology or a retraction? Something tells me no. Does the New York Times celebrate and champion this kind of commentary? No, they definitely wouldn't, I don't think. Do they indirectly or subconsciously welcome this kind of activism? You mean more clicks, more eyes means more money?

Rage, conflict, drama, eyeballs, web visits, revenue. Is that what the role of 2025 columnist is? Somebody's got to bring the eyeballs. Clickbait? Yeah. Tied to derange commentary? I mean, if you've read even just a few columns, especially, you know, especially internet columns,

you can, you often see the headlines are crafted, well crafted, to either provoke outrage, anger, disbelief, to get someone to click on it and go to the article, and there you find the real story that tells quite a different story. I wouldn't be surprised. I don't know that this would, I don't think that the New York Times would, would take what's been said here seriously enough to say or do something.

John Blair's comment, Jerry, it's worth noting that the government may only take land for the purposes listed at Virginia Code Section 1-219.1. No city in Virginia can take land just to destroy someone's home without meeting the definition of public use. Lloyd is a good man and a good attorney, and I'd have to think he would laugh at the idea of taking someone's property because they oppose the new zoning ordinance. It would be a direct violation of the Virginia conflict of interest acts for government official to retaliate against someone for exercising their First Amendment right. Take a look at Virginia Code Section 2.2-310310.

I don't think there's a council member, I know four of the five, I would say well, and a council member that would entertain this. But I want to know if, according to this reporter, he had meetings with multiple ones of them. about the destruction of a plaintiff's house because of their opposition to a new zoning ordinance. Yeah. We as taxpayers deserve that transparency. And I would encourage any viewer and listener that's watching this program to pursue a freedom of information act requests as it applies to all Jamel Bowie correspondence of communication with Charlottesville City Council members. We deserve to know if a New York Times columnist is corresponding,

corresponding with Charlottesville City Councilors about the destruction of someone's home and how they're responding to it. I bring that to your attention because I think it's important. The next headline, Judah Wickhauer, let's highlight the Orangedale story. And Chief Mike Conscious in the Police Department, the Almore County Police Department. folks there was a shootout on orangedale and the prospect neighborhood that left a 52 year old female an 18 year old female a 17 year old male

and 11 year old female and a 9 year old male wounded by gunfire one of the suspects has been arrested his name is Anthony Hopkins he's 20 years old this was legitimately a gunfight a gunfight ladies and gentlemen

on the 4th of July in the prospect neighborhood right off of 5thville Chief Kachis has got one person in custody and says more arrests are coming and if you're involved with this gunfight turn yourself in now

because you may have a bit more grace or empathy with the police in the courts if you turn yourself in as opposed to us tracking you down and arresting you like we did Anthony Hopkins. When I know something crazy, this Anthony Hopkins fellow on the 4th of July gunfight that left five innocent bystanders in the hospital and peppered with bullets, their bodies, he's the same guy who's facing charges in Almaro County in connection with a May 24th shooting at shooting at the Brookdale Apartments.

One troublemaker tied to two shootings a couple of months apart. I want to give both police departments some props. Admiral County, Colonel Reeves, Chief Cottes, Charlottesville City. I want to highlight again that it seems to be a very small group of people that are terrorizing Charlottesville and Almaro County with guns.

and violence. Yeah. Small group of people. I want to ask the community what can be done about these small groups of people that are terrorizing the community with guns. The easy answer is more enforcement

in courts, longer times, and prison. Other answers could include their residences in public housing and what public housing organizations and outfits can do to restrict residents of people like that, basically restricting housing, restricting their housing. It's no secret.

A lot of violent offenders are tied to CRHA and their housing. What can be done with Charlottesville Redevelopment and Housing Authority? With screening candidates or vetting them a little bit more appropriately. not offering a second or third strike, one strike and you're out. One man, two gun fights, one in Almorough County, one in Orange, Daryl in the 4th of July. The one in the 4th of July could have been one of the darkest days in Charlottesville history. Two groups of people fighting with guns. On a picnic with fireworks in the air, five innocent bystanders hit, including two children.

thank the Lord no one died conscious makes the point yes physically they're on track to heal emotionally it takes much longer to recover if ever if ever anything you want to add to this I think you got it all

next headline Judah Wickhauer what do you got well let's see we've got Seville rent prices outpacing Richmond, Norfolk. This came up in the Missile Smith debate on Real Talk this morning. I asked this question specifically.

How does housing affordability coincide with assessments upticking in Almaro County 40 to 50% since the start of COVID with tax rates upticking 4 cents this calendar year, real estate tax rates. I said, are they not oxymorons or contradictory pushes? How can you be pro-housing affordability and pro-raising the real-state tax?

rate four cents. Yeah. That real estate tax rate increase of four cents, a tiny, tiny, tiny sliver, less than a cent of the four cents went to housing affordability. I want to know this. The budget in Alamara County is 600 and what? $62 million. Howmorrow County, Virginia, fiscal year 2025 budget. $642,196. If our assessments have uptick in Almaro County, 40 to 50% over the last five years because of the impacts of COVID and the pandemic,

that is a revenue source alone. We also have revenue sources tied to the four, incremental revenue sources tied to the four cents real estate tax rate increase, and any meals and lodging taxes increases. all this additional revenue that's coming to Al Morrow County, why must it continue to be, why must it all be spent?

Why does that additional revenue not yield cuts for folks that live in Al Morrow in some capacity? My escrow, have you, the viewer and listener, check your escrow with insurance and taxes, specifically taxes on your mortgage payment lately? as taxes go up and as insurance costs go up, the allocation each month to escrow with your mortgage payment is going up. My escrow allocation jumped month over month,

this month being the first month, $240, $250. Thank you. Fortunately, we can afford it. But a jump of a couple hundred dollars on folks that are on fixed income or between jobs or are disabled is substantial. Especially on a paid off house where the expectation is that it is more affordable. Exactly. Well said.
