ReplyMr. Moore, thank you for responding to the questions. You said to an ARB member, "I think it is a fair question and I think we can look into that to see if we can find a natural stone alternative," he said. That implies that you never did look into a natural stone alternative. As you can read from this story, I heard pretty much everything because I recorded it. Normally, I would correct the story or clarify, but you have stepped up and clarified your statements and responses, and that is very much appreciated. Thank you.

ReplyUpdate to this story: The University of Mary Washington has agreed to host the first annual Fredericksburg Our Community Salutes Military Enlistee Recognition Ceremony. The ceremony will be held at Dodd Auditorium on June 4 at 6:00 p.m..
In an email from Susan Knick, Director of UMW Scheduling and Events, was the following statement,
"President Hurley and Chief of Staff Wilder both believe it is right to support these young men and women with a special ceremony. I, as a retired Army Major, certainly concur with their endorsement!
President Hurley has waived all associated rental fees." -

ReplyMr. Moore, thank you for the clarification, but it seemed obvious that no one considered using local stone for the project...and there is an opportunity to clear that up here if you wish in more detail. I welcome it.

ReplyElizabeth, my generation is dealing with mega student loan debt, too. I had 32,000 and I paid it off 18 months ago, creating massive struggles for me to make ends meet. I had a fixed payback rate of 8 percent, which is ridiculous for a school loan when I owned a house at 4.5 percent.

It's not good to try to squash public opinion just because you do not agree with it. I could see if a person got up there and did a hyperbole stunt, but in this instance she presented her side, and the principal presented his side. As I said before, this is democracy. The city needs more of this. Voter apathy was very high once again. People overall don't care. But when someone does care, and speaks up in a respectful manner....it's not wrong. And a school system or principal taking a stance is not wrong, either.
