Members of the Virginia General Assembly are trying to push through stealth tax cuts for the super-rich that will deprive the state of over $100 million annually -- shifting more of the tax burden to the middle class and the poor.

What do these six people have in common? They are all presidents of
universities in Virginia -- the University of Virginia, Virginia Tech,
Virginia Commonwealth University, Christopher Newport University, George
Mason University and Old Dominion University, respectively.

What else do they have in common? Their compensation packages provide them
with more than $364,000 a year (with Casteen's being $690,000), and the
institutions that they head are major employers in the communities in which
they are located.

And what else? All six have shown a lack of leadership when it comes to
making sure that all their employees are paid a living wage.

We need people to gather at 9th and Broad Street on Wednesday at noon to show the state legislators (who do not live in this town but are from everywhere else in the state) that we city dwellers refuse to allow for the demolition of our downtown landmark buildings – especially when an alternative to demolition is supported by a State funded study. This study concluded that the best this building should be saved and reused for a number of development options(one includes a VCU/UR urban law school partnership) The State’s parking and office space needs can be met by using the vacant lot located between 8th and 9th street.

Please see the attached flyer and share it with neighbors, friends, family members and anyone interested in improving our city. Would it be possible to post this on the calendar?
I’m going to send this out to some RVA blogs and see if they too will post this “call to action�?.

Thank you so much for your help! Again, if you have any questions, please call or email me. Thanks again!
