Henry Light that is, for the Democratic nomination for Delegate from the 79th District. :) At least, that's what the Virginian-Pilot says in its endorsement this morning:
Del. Johnny Joannou seldom misses a chance to rail against tax increases and government spending. But he doesn't hesitate to take all he can for his pet projects in Portsmouth, while ignoring its schools and roads.Joannou's ease in bridging those contradictions has made him the city's most durable politician, but not one who can be counted on to get the General Assembly's help in Portsmouth's comeback. In Tuesday's Democratic primary for Portsmouth's 79th District seat in the House of Delegates, we urge the election of someone who will - Henry Light.
In addition, the Pilot blasts Joannou for "his "votes against better schools and roads for Portsmouth," his "veto over Midtown Tunnel improvements for the last 10 years," and his opposition (he calls it a "waste of money") to the "bridge tunnel under the Elizabeth River joining Norfolk International Terminals and Craney Island to I-664."
Joannou's obviously got to go. Luckily, 79th District voters have a great alternative, endorsed by Mark Warner, named Henry Light. This Tuesday, let there be "Light!"
