    Great Richmond city doesn’t know how to manage their taxpayers money, so Henrico county Supervisors want to misuse our taxes to bail them out of their homeless problem.
    Let’s get these idiots out.
    Another reason why my wife and I are leaving Henrico County in the Fall and taking our tax money with us.
    I hope other middle class taxpayers will follow.
