So long, RVA!
It’s been suggested that I report on the informal sessions that precede the Formal Session and I agree, it’s a good idea. Thanks to Christopher Columbus I have the day off and what better way to spend it than at an afternoon session of City Council.
There was a pre-game show tonight. Scott Burger and Sierra Club supporters showed up early to protest Richmond’s water rates outside of City Hall. Other than that, business as usual.
City Council kicked off its new session with life’s two unavoidable subjects: death, in this case the death of civic activist Ruby Giles Turner, and taxes, as in who has to pay them.
This week was Council’s last meeting until September. Here’s a look at how they closed out the session and a look at another Richmond’s Council meetings.
A Council landmark passes away, VCU wins an award, and Council takes over the Citizen Comment Period.
This week Council agrees to look into the costs and benefits of urban poultry.
With so much happening in recent weeks, Council was mum on many issues.
In rare collection of unanimous votes, the City Council last night passed two major ordinances that will affect the Landmark Theater and a new arts district downtown.
Last night’s City Council meeting began as a standing-room-only event. By the end of the evening, however, only a few remained. Children were honored, budgets were discussed, and chicken owners rallied behind their cause. You know, just your typical council meeting.
What started out as a perfunctory City Council meeting ended up having a rather children-related bent. Shel Silverstein’s “The Giving Tree” made an appearance right before the Mayor criticized the state of the city’s public schools. Here’s the recap.
