Alexandria: T.C. Williams Baseball Competes at Regional Tournament

Junior pitcher Tovsky helped Titans hang around against Madison.

For three innings, the T.C. Williams baseball team played like a youthful group looking to pull off an upset.

Letter: Mixed Legacy

Bill Euille is a nice person, and he has often spoken kindly of my mother, former City Councilwoman Lois Walker, especially on issues of transportation.

Letter: Eyes Wide Shut or Open?

I applaud all who have written over the past weeks expressing concern for the governance of this city. There appears to be genuine enthusiasm for the June 9 primary which will select the next mayor.

Story

Letter: Talented Progressive

I'm delighted to share a somewhat unique vantage point on one of the many qualified candidates for our House of Delegates 45th District seat.

Letter: Distinct Choices

To say that Bill Euille has been an effective mayor is not a valid statement, since the City of Alexandria is a half billion dollars in debt, with an annual debt service now of $80 million.

Letter: Setting Precedent For Subdivisions

Story

Letter: Serial Disrespect

Recent letters and articles have endorsed Alexandria Mayor Bill Euille for reelection. I find Mayor Euille a true gentleman and wonderful spokesman for the city, but these endorsements are disingenuous at best, playing free with the facts about Mayor Euille’s blame (and Candidate Kerry Donley’s) for much of what has gone wrong in Alexandria planning over the last decade.

Letter: A Different Kind of BRAC

Every Alexandrian has had to have heard about BRAC, which stands for Base Realignment and Closure and is the Congressionally authorized process DOD uses to reorganize its base structure for efficiencies of budget and operational readiness.

Story

Letter: Facts on School Spending

I was surprised to receive a flyer from Kerry Donley last week alleging that his opponents for mayor have not been strong supporters of our public schools. Mr. Donley’s negative advertising of the kind we all abhor is based on half-truths and misrepresentations.

Story

Letter: Details Are Important

The headline on Mayor Euille’s recent flier proclaims: Developers wanted to bring dump trucks into Old Town. Bill Euille knew there had to be a better way.

Similar To Sports

As Alexandria voters ponder their June 9 choice for mayor, they should evaluate the players as though it were a sporting event rather than a political contest.

Story

Letter: Opposing Subdivision

I am a concerned citizen of the Clover neighborhood who lives directly behind one of recently subdivided lots. Clover is a beautiful, established neighborhood that is steeped in history. Such noted national figures as President Gerald Ford, Watergate Attorney Plato Cacheris, General Barry McCaffrey, and many others have owned homes in Clover. For over 60 years Clover has been a stable, lovely place to live.
