On Tuesday's agenda for the Virginia Beach City Council's formal session is the granting of a new two-year contract to City Manager Jim Spore. I'm certainly no Jim Spore fan, but only a fool would bet against Council approving the contract.
That raises a big question in my mind: who shows up Tuesday evening in the Council Chambers to comment on the issue? You'll have the VBTV cameras to play to, probably a Virginian-Pravda reporter, maybe even other media if it's a slow news day. (I'll never forget two television stations showing up for a Cigarette Tax increase.) Anyone want to see how much hyperbole you can unload in three minutes?
I have another meeting across town on Tuesday evening, so I can't make it. However, I plan watch the streaming video on the City's website later.

Uh...Tyler...what does that have to do with Jim Spore's contract renewal?
Nothing at all.
I know how you like alternative transport, but I couldn't find an email for you on the blog so I posted the announcement where you could find it and post in a more prominent way.
