So long, RVA!
Monday was a neat night for a City Council: almost all of the streetlights were out through the Fan down to City Hall, and there were two BIG items on the agenda: the Riverfront Plan and “The Redskins Deal.”
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.
How things have changed. Only weeks (months?) ago Council meetings went on endlessly, angry speeches were made, political points were scored. Lately? Barely a whimper. Recaps from both this week’s Council meeting and Public Budget Hearing.
With little on the agenda to speak of, there is still an eclectic group gathering for tonight’s session: a youth choir, a collection of ministers, some well dressed kids, a troop of boy scouts, and the usual bunch of coconuts.
A slow night for City Council as they prepare to take on the Mayor’s proposed budget. Some awards, notes on Occupy Richmond, and a few other tidbits in this week’s recap.
