Jay Ford of Chesapeake Bay Foundation Challenges Parksley with GoFundMe site

August 2, 2020 by Wayne Creed 2 Comments

Jay C. Ford, who is the Virginia Voices Outreach Coordinator for the Chesapeake Bay Foundation has started a GoFundMe site as way to thwart the Town of Parksley. The town in in the process of selling their confederate statue and the land it stands upon to the Sons of the Confederate Veterans for $1.

Oddly, Mr. Ford, who has ties to Governor Northam did not have a problem when the old school in Cape Charles was sold for $10 as a way to keep African Americans away by dismantling the basketball courts.

Ford would like to buy the land to ensure the statue is removed.

If Parksley rejects the offer, the money will go to the Black Lives Matter group.

    For a number of years I contributed yearly and generously to Chesapeake Bay Foundation. Because of Mr. Ford’s highly-charged efforts as a member of the Cancel Culture Movement, the Foundation has received my last contribution. I admired Mr. Ford’s efforts several years ago to slow the explosive growth of the industrial poultry business in Accomack County. Apparently, however, he has chosen to stand on a number of leftist soapboxes with the intention of damaging a small business in Cape Charles and erasing an important part of Parksley’s history. He has no idea of how much harm he has done to the Foundation by vocalizing political positions unconnected with his primary job.

      And, apparently, the CBF either doesn’t realize this either, or maybe they CONDONE Ford’s bullying and intimidation method??
