Rosemary Wilson: Why Switch Seats?
What’s not understandable and is - unfortunately - legal, is Wilson’s decision to run for the Beach seat.
Rosemary's Ruse
If Wilson really wants that Beach seat, she should resign her post and let the voters decide the future of both slots.
John Uhrin. Gone For Good.
The political machine is not going to give up this seat without a fight.

SPECIAL FEATURE: Connections and Conflicts. Part II
Yes, gold leaf pavers. Your tax dollars. And nobody seemed to care.

After reviewing the files, one obvious question jumps out: If they can’t vote, then why are they on the VBDA in the first place?
SPECIAL FEATURE: Good Government. Virginia Beach-Style. Part II
It wouldn’t be the last time the VBDA lavished dollars on companies associated with Thompson, of course. And it wouldn’t be the last time Branch supported Thompson while serving on that body. Special reporting by John Holland.
