While Harrisonburg Slept
How did we wind up with a dangerously dysfunctional City Council?
These five pieces describe the City Council we have and why the three self-styled progressives are out of touch with the city and with their own jobs.
The problem is also the City Council’s tendency to approve any housing that comes before it, and damn the consequences.
And then there’s the problem of Councilman Chris Jones trying to dominate and control the meetings he’s in, regardless of whether it’s productive and regardless of its effect on the city . . . .
. . . . not to mention his all-but-declared war on the school system and his thinly veiled references to his ability to affect the school budget.
