Virginian-Pilot is right!
By Brian Kirwin | Tuesday, August 11th, 2009 | Catch-AllThe Virginian-Pilot editorial board calls for Portsmouth Mayor James Holley to resign.
Now, lest my friends at the Pilot start worrying about their sanity, and although I think they’re right, I don’t 100% agree.
A year ago, I called for Holley to resign for his racist comments about having a white hotel and building a black hotel.
The latest flap about the Mayor having his staff member do his shopping and online Playboy subscription drove Council to fine him $2,500. Yes he should resign, but he should’ve been gone a year ago.
The Pilot is right. I was just right first.
UPDATE – Vivian Paige is right, too.
