Agenda 2006

Arlington County Board Member J. Walter Tejada was cited in two articles in the Arlington Connection today.

In an article on 'The Ten Things to Look For in 2006' in the Arlington Connection. "Arlington Latino leaders and Democratic politicians have denounced these proposals and said they would exacerbate bigotry in the state. “We can expect an antagonistic and negative environment in the General Assembly this year,” said County Board member Walter Tejada. “We will do our best to bring the facts forward and show there are a lot of benefits of having a big immigrant community in Virginia.”

Separately, in an article on the 'Priorities for Year-Long County Board Term,' Tejada said the lack of affordable units was an important issue to address in 2006. He would conduct "a public forum to discuss housing cooperatives as a viable alternative in Arlington."
