Hat tip to Patricia Sullivan of the Washington Post for pointing out this Twitter war…er, discussion, between Virginia State Senator Scott Surovell, former Delegate Rob Krupicka, Alexandria City Council Members John Taylor Chapman and Justin Wilson over the lovely subject of sewage (seems appropriate for politics these days, though…). Enjoy – or not (e.g., if you’re at the “wrong end of a raw sewage pipe” on this one)! LOL
