VIRGINIA'S FUTURE?

Ineptness, greed and overactive hormones have brought down so many of Chesapeake's elected and appointed officials that it is incumbent on The Virginian-Pilot and The Ledger-Star to publish a box score of how and when their careers ended.

Where are they now? What are they doing?

The information contained in such a report may serve to warn department heads and councilmen to exercise caution when they feel the sap rising, thus saving Chesapeake residents more embarrassment.

After all, it takes a lot of courage to admit you live in a city that bills itself - in what is the joke of the century - as ``Virginia's Future.''
