To the Editor:
In your editorial (“Limiting Local Authority,” The Connection, February 10-16, 2016) you write that the Virginia General Assembly is "rushing to restrict proffers..." For decades the incessant grab for increasing revenues by local jurisdictions has been evidenced by larger and larger, more creative grabs by localities, some even illegal. There is no rush, simply a patient, prudent reply to those overzealous spenders of other people’s money.
