JUST SAY NO TO EMINENT DOMAIN
“But it’s eminent domain that has no place in Alexandria. How is removing the parking lot or boat club going to improve the community? It was the city that erected the awful fence and took over the grassy area by the boat club, which is weed-infested and looks horrible.
I in no way support eminent domain. The boat club has been a vital part of Old Town since 1880. It helps a lot of people in our community through efforts like Toys for Tots, Salvation Army bell ringers, the Wounded Warrior Project and scholarships for special-needs children.”
