A city in Virginia is spiraling the drain, fiscally. The mayor disagrees. He wrote a letter saying that the attacks about his leadership are racially motivated.
The letter has to be seen to be believed. It’s not inspiring confidence that this leader knows what the hell he is doing.
~~~~~~~
Please be advised and understanding of the significant pressures we as Council Members are being adhered too, as well as being bullied and forced to make unlike leadership decisions. Decisions are what they are and as leaders we make the hard choices as elected to do so as “advised”. The majority should always and democratically rule. No one Council member does it alone as always regurgitated.
We have a resident capacity of 33,000 people, yet 2% of the population rules the City Council in a largely populated African American City. I will not be moved in my service to my Constituency and for those who stand before the Council and boast of getting rid of each and everyone of us to include a Council Member and family, who never voted for either one of us in the first place, but continues to disavow the rules.
I will act as the representative of Ward 5 and the Mayor duty to my right hand, serve the Public without blemish and from scare tactics from a few racist and Republican supporters. I could care less about being singled out or ignored, my duty is for the people who elected me to fight for theirs.
Follow the rules adopted that carry your moral fiber as an elected official not to impress upon a group of demonstrators. Vote your conscious not your election. It is a privilege to serve the people not a faction. There are still a many residents that have been hurt by the past and still paying unjustly here in the future. We have been deprived and disenfranchised for years under the rule of a chosen few. I request that under this leadership you ask the hard question. Where do we go from here and how do we fix this generational mess without destroying your personal integrity.
Additionally, the media or newspaper does not run the City, you do. This is not an election-time opportunity, we have a mess that’s been dealt to us from the past along with the relationships that have cost our largely populated constituents greater harm.
Our economic and financial development is in crisis and until this Council set aside the foolishness of one and Facebook cronies, we will not be able to move forward.
I suggest you take a look at the real issue that plagues our city from an appointed housing authority member follow the LINK: https://www.gofundme.com/2cpuej2h.
This does not only concern me, but all of us …
Sincerely,
Mayor W. Howard Myers
I AM PETERSBURG
Read more at The Federalist. They say the fire department just informed the city that they had $390,000 worth of equipment repossessed.

Maybe he used an “official letter” generator software. Either that or his phone substituted words for him.
“Mayor W. Howard Myers
I AM PETERSBURG”
Sucks to be Petersburg.
Well, at least he didn’t plagiarizer anyone, I think.
But then I haven’t read everything Joe Biden wrote or said.
That’s Petersburg alright. 100% Obama Kaine McAuliffe voters.
It’s a city of good architectural bones and fascinating civil war history. (Look up the Crater)
But it is also a place where freed slaves languished and multiplied like Vermin. And kept themselves multigenerational stupid.
Sheeut! I get’s letters like that all the time from a Prince in Nigeria who tells me the he has $44.000.000 U.S. currency dollars, certified by the FBI and the US Treasury Company of the United States that he want’s to give me if only I would…………
NIG-GER Please!
Engrish?
This is what happens when we refuse to spay and neuter our politicians.
Seems like he made a stab (prolly wrong word to use) to use every $10 word he ever know’d. Reminds me of the 2 brotha’s in prison on In Living Color.
I couldn’t get through the entire tome.
Snorted, choked on my drank, and farted all at the same time
“…. I stuck around …Petersburg. When I saw it was time for a change….”
It looks like he typed his letter in his native ebonics and then ran it through google translate. Failing that, it resembles standard grammar of many current college graduates.
He looks like he could be OJ’s semi retarded half brother. “Duh, yup, yup, which way did they go George.”
Maybe that’s just how they talk “in the future” where he seems to be.
Oh, Lordy. If I were to score that “essay”, he wouldn’t pass. We can’t give 0-, but I would sure try!
His bio might explain it to a large extent with such impressive qualifications as “Myers also has an honorary Associates degree in Business Management from Centura College”.

not everyone should have the “right” to vote, and this just proves it. if you don’t PAY income tax, own property, and have a grasp of the issues, you should have your privleges revoked
Good Grief! I’ve read assembly instructions for Chinese motorcycles that made more sense…
I speak jive. I can translate.

Brain farts of a paranoid schizophrenic leftist trying to get a clue. That “letter” makes no sense.
One word: Kakistocracy.
Looks like Obama after his head’s been pressed in a vise.
That was so bad I forgot what I was reading about half way through the first paragraph. His strategy must be to dazzle them with his brilliance.
The California public school second grade writing rubric would score that a “feel good” 2, making progress. At least he used paragraphs.
Big cities have been hit. But then come the munis. Petersburg is a muni, just like the other smaller cities. And they will always be the ‘forever Democrat’ munis. Popcorn.
If Obummer had a half-white, half-whit brother…
oh wait, he’s got millions of them
Kind of sounds like the Kingfish when he’s trying to impress someone with his intelligence.
Sharpton is his speech writer?
“I AM PETERSBURG”.
Yes, you illiterate dolt. Yes, you are.
“President Richmond Public Library Association Richmond, VA 1982/83”
????????
@ Joe6pak. or baffle them with bullshit? Hee, hee. So sad.
Affirmative Action really works, doesn’t it????
I think I see why no one can dispute him in a debate. There’s nothing there. It looks like he throws words in a blender and writes them down as they pour out. People just give up and walk away wondering what’s wrong with him.
“I win! Hey, I used a few three dollar words in there – I am shmarht!”
Dat shit be not making no sense and shit, yo.
@Anonymous: “At least he used paragraphs”
Unfortunately, schools are getting away from requiring their essays use paragraphs. They now say if the topics are clustered together, that is good enough.
Yes. This is Common Core.
He forgot to put “nodameen” at the end.
@Will Smart ~ it does … if you are trying to destroy a country
“Go Fund Me” Account…..are you serious!!!
Just moved out of Petersburg due to the school system and the fact that they stopped funding the gifted school. Best move my family and I ever made, unfortunately I still own property their, although it is being rented. Meanwhile I need to challenge the property assessment.
Paul E. Raisley: ‘I still on property there,’ not THE I R! The pot calling the kettle ….
And blind democrats keep voting retards into office. I live in Peyersburg, and I’m skeered!!
