Given the intelligence at work on the issue, I'd be quite concerned about that.

Where did she go? What did the police find when they investigated the alleged beating? Did I miss the news? I have asked the same question a number of times and have never received an answer. That story and a number of other similar situations during the past year have never had a follow-up. These situations are reported "hot and heavy" when they supposedly occur and then they die a "quiet death." Dave in PWC said on 13 Dec 2009 at 5:53 pm: Flag comment

Anyway, IF what you're saying is that we spend TWO BILLION tax payer dollars on child care in Virginia (based on the fact that YOU say 25%+/- of the money (fraudulently) spent equals $500,000,000.) then all we have to do is cut child care 25% and we'll free up a HALF BILLION DOLLARS !!! Harry !!! You've SOLVED the budget problem !!! And just think, all you were REALLY trying to do was make Rich Anderson look bad (a MONTH) before he took office !!! You think maybe (part of) the reason Nickles LOST the election is because his supporters are BUFFOONS? What do you think, Harry? Hey Harry!! What'd ya think we spend on roads? A GAZILLION ??? Look into it, will ya? Thanks. Harry, C’MON, slink back out of your hiding place !!!
