RICHMOND — Northern Virginia legislators and their aides say they are receiving a flood of phone ^ calls from Disney supporters.

“The calls have been overwhelmingly in favor of Disney,” state Del. Jay Katzen, R-31st, said.

Those Disney supporters who have called lawmakers have confirmed to Times Community Newspapers that they contacted their Richmond representatives with a little help from Disney itself.

A telemarketing firm since last week has been calling Northern Virginia residents in an effort to gauge their support or opposition to the Disney theme park. If the callees .say they favor the park, they are then automatically connected to their lawmaker’s office.

“They just contacted me and patched me right through,” Russell A. Harrison of Sterling said. “They talked to me for a couple of minutes. , It wasn’t long. They just wanted my opinion.”
