Just in case you didn’t get the message from the low-tax candidates winning in Chesapeake, take a look at Waynesboro (News-Virginian, emphasis added, h/t Spank That Donkey and Yankee Philip):

The man who changed the face of the City Council began guiding his pickup truck through Waynesboro at 6 a.m. Wednesday, retrieving the signs of his success.

Supporters such as Tom Reider rode with Bruce Allen in the councilman-elect’s well-worn red Sierra GMC, dents in its side, stopping numerous times, picking up the “Allen for Council” signs, also tossing in those advertising council ally Frank Lucente.

Allen, 55, joked that Lucente – seven years his senior – was getting too old to be picking up his own signs.

Those two, along with Councilman Tim Williams spent late Tuesday celebrating after a landslide election victories. Allen and Lucente hauled in more than 61 percent of the vote in a pair of three-way races. Williams ran unopposed.

Their wins gave the fiscal conservatives majority control of the council.

So we have yet another example of the voters turfing a spendthrift local majority in favor of candidates who understand the damage high taxes and profligate spending can bring.

Notice a pattern, gentlemen?
