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. And, certainly, I don’t need to tell anyone where BRAC-133 is located.
Letter: Collaborative and Consensus-Building
We are writing to express our support for Mayor Bill Euille in the June 9 Democratic primary for mayor.
Letter: Developmental Disaster
With the primary election day less than one week away respectively, I think it prudent to evaluate the performance of our governing bodies, the school board, mayor and city council with respect to real estate development.
Letter: A Determined Leader

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.
Letter: Addressing Transportation
I am writing to share my personal views in support of Kerry Donley for mayor on June 9. My main concern is transportation.
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.
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.
Letter: Working Collaboratively
Wouldn't it be great to be able to cast a ballot for a candidate who is a dedicated, selfless member of the community rather than just another career politician?
Letter: Voice for Neighborhoods
As vice mayor of Alexandria, Allison Silberberg has demonstrated thoughtful leadership that represents the citizens rather than the latest development idea. It is time for a mayor who listens, asks questions, and considers all sides of the issue.
Letter: Thoughtful Leader
On Tuesday, June 9, in one of the most important local primaries of recent years, Alexandrians will have the opportunity to cast their vote for the candidate likely to be elected mayor.

It was reported in local newspapers that the city government is considering a new policy of reducing the parking requirements for developers of new projects.
Letter: Committed To Helping People
Mark Levine is my choice to represent me and everyone who lives in the 45th district now that Rob Krupicka has chosen not to run for re-election.
