Delegate Purkey’s obfuscation:
This was his response at a recent candidates forum hosted by Lynnhaven River NOW in Virginia Beach to the following question:
My question is regarding water quality. Virginia recently released its updated Chesapeake Bay and Virginia Waters Cleanup Plan and in that report it was noted that Virginia has made significant progress reducing nutrient pollution, nitrogen and phosphorus pollution from point sources, principally wastewater treatment plants, however the report also noted that much more must be done to address non-point sources of nutrient pollution particularly storm water run-off from development activities if we are to restore the Lynnhaven River and the Chesapeake Bay. So my question is: What priority action or actions do you believe the House of Delegate should take to reduce non-point sources of nitrogen and phosphorus in the Bay?Trust that he is fully aware of the source of the nitrogen and phosphorous in the run-off. Who this unnamed Democratic investigative collaborator aka opponent was remains a mystery. Purkey is also fully aware that the facts are not something his developer “friends” favor being discussed. But this is exactly how he handles the heat when he becomes uncomfortable with the truth but isn’t willing to lie. At the least, give him that. Watch for a re-run at his next public appearance, indeed.
