Rod Johnson 95 Report Share Posted January 20, 2016 Absolutely horrible idea that, quite frankly, is bordering on un-American. Bill can't die fast enough. Ryan4VT and redtiger 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bearcat Bob 491 Report Share Posted January 20, 2016 I would like to tell TennesseeMom that she owes me a refund. I actually paid for my oldest son to finish his junior year at D-B after we moved back to VA mid year. This was back in early 2000 but I will not charge any interest. $2k will suffice.

RiverRat24 274 Report Share Posted January 22, 2016 Not to stir the pot up anymore than it already is......but with the likelihood of Sullivan North, Sullivan Central, and Sullivan South all consolidating in the very near future, I foresee some numbers changing at GC. Not sure where the numbers are currently but from alot of people that I've talked to, their kids don't seem too thrilled about all the mess going on in Sullivan County and alot are considering the move to GC. Might have to do some school add-ons just to hold all the Tennessee'ans! Heck they might even change the name to the Gate City Volunteers (gagged a lil typing that) .....so in turn the Gate City Holdback chant will no longer be recognized.

Great City 210 Report Share Posted January 22, 2016 River..............I threw up a little in my mouth at your Volunteers reference. Please.....no more. I'm sure GC will just get the good athletes from TN coming over. I mean, that is all we get.......right? I am pretty sure the school board has all TN kids run a 40 yard dash before any final decision is made on whether that kid will be allowed to attend GC. Amazes me that it seems a lot of people actually believe we have a bunch of TN kids coming to GC to play sports. RiverRat24 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cowboysnskynyrd 74 Report Share Posted January 23, 2016 And to the Virginia Beach litigation and appeals attorney, Kevin Martingayle, I just want to know that when votes are being cast on behalf of OUR children in Southwest Virginia, that they’re not being punished because they happen to be from a rural, less populated part of the state.

sixcat 2,919 Report Share Posted January 24, 2016 It doesn't appear to have much of a chance to pass but, like the Tebow Bill, it is probably something that will be introduced 3,4, or 5 years in a row. And like the Tebow bill, it will get more and more support each year it is introduced. The poor folks in NOVA,Richmond and Tidewater are so repressed.
