He truly apologizes for dozing off during the meeting; however, his day starts at 4:00 a.m., and especially on that day he had to do tours of the Capitol for some people here in the City, as well as working with citizens in Alexandria with respect to deterring a potential tax hike.

(j) Mayor Donley reported that he attended the William Ramsay Elementary School's annual Thanksgiving Day luncheon with the students. He had lunch with Sara, who is a fourth grader and a straight "A" student.
(k) Mayor Donley noted that the Mayors and Chairs of Northern Virginia jurisdictions have met, and he had also met with the legislative committee at NVCC. He stated that a lot of Alexandria's ideas are also in other jurisdictions' legislative packages this year. He indicated that this is in large part due to the coordination and communication that occurs between our respective Legislative Liaisons.
