"So after nearly two years of a tourism boycott led by local SCV leader Brandon Dorsey and promoted by the Virginia Flaggers, what's been the effect on revenues for the city? An increase of nearly $340K over FY2011 levels, led by a whopping25.5% boost in restaurant food tax revenue in the past year alone:"

I think the Flaggers might find going on a 'Hunger Strike' a better strategy to have an effect on Lexington's economy.

Sooner or later, they're just going to have to realize that very few really care all that much. Preaching to the choir does little to affect the congregation.

We've agreed that self-interest guides most all actions? Lexington is a tourist town. Its merchants and citizens and shop owners all have a vested interest in the present silliness. Seems like they have spoke.
