@RTDNEWS Stoney's record #RVA
1.Stoney’s first major action after becoming mayor was to fire the City Auditor who told him that RPS & City accounts needed a forensic audit. Response: Stoney fired him. Very Trumpian.Very telling about his business dealings. @FreePressRVA @CBS6

2. Stoney violated procurement procedures to build new schools, awarded the bids to crony-donors, a pattern. Discovered by Virginia Association of Contractors filing a FOIA to get documents contract bids. Costs to build them were 30-50% higher than they should be. #RVA @RTDNEWS

3.Stoney's anti-business administration drove hundreds of large businesses & laboratories out of RVA around the BioTech Park, MCV and Jackson Ward - all in a HUBZONE we had endeavored to get to regenerate Jackson Ward. These were middle class jobs. #RVA @RTDNEWS @CBS6

4. Combined with McAuliffe's theft of scientific resources at the Biotech Park & MCV, costing 10,000 high paying jobs, Stoney put the finishing touch on the demise of downtown RVA. Downtown #RVA went dark. @RTDNEWS @FreePressRVA @StyleWeekly Stoney is McA's puppet.

5. Imposed impossibly punitive regulatory reporting requirements on businesses driving more jobs and small businesses out of RVA -this is outside of & IN ADDITION TO the jobs lost in the HUBZONE region around BioTech Park & JacksonWard. #RVA @RTDNEWS @rvabizsense @FreePressRVA

6. Raised real estate tax assessments 30% in 3 years, although illegal monuments removal & fecklessness during riots has caused property values to drop dramatically. Vacant homes many places formerly thriving.#RVA @RTDNEWS @rvatechcouncil @rvabizsense @StyleWeekly @FreePressRVA

7.Outlaw mayor refused to obey the law or to enforce it during RVAriots, making RVA incredibly more violent. #RVA #RVAprotests These riots are Antifa directed Russian #ActiveMeasures to help reelect trump. Stoney is complicit. @FreePressRVA @RTDNEWS

8. Gun violence out of control last 4 years, worsening since Stoney's police stand down policy, with point blank shootings in broad daylight -1600 Broad Street-before this summer’s chaos! Gun violence epidemic,daily shootings. #RVA @RTDNEWS #rvaprotests @FreePressRVA @StyleWeekly

9. Possible "felonious bid-rigging" w NH District on Coliseum boondoggle (per legal experts). Boondoggle & rip-off #RVA was stopped only by Paul Goldman (Doug Wilders campaign manager) raising attention through petition to let RVA vote on it. @RTDNEWS @FreePressRVA

10. The $1.4 BILLION project would have stripped @GWCarver_RPS & ALL @RPS_Schools of funding 30 years under its TIF funding was finally blocked by #rvacouncil led by 10 yr school board member, 2nd district councilwoman @kimgray4rva #RVA @FreePressRVA @StyleWeekly @RTDNEWS @CBS6
