twenty minutes late and we’re playing musical chairs? signer, that ain’t your seat, my dude. #manspreading
nikuyah opens by apologizing for the late start — they were holding interviews for the city attorney positions. current acting city attorney lisa robertson is totally stone faced.
wes announces there will be a “resilient cville” event re: A12 on july 12 at 6pm, location TBA july 3. the event will be live-streamed.
they voted unanimously to add an 8th member to the CRB and voted unanimously again to appoint rosia parker.
ms rosia absolutely belongs on that board & i’m glad to see this change, but so does jeff fogel. so they got it half right...
now city manager’s response to matters by the public: the proposed blasting in belmont will be the subject of a public hearing (when?) & staff will present a report on the possibility of a strong mayor system of govt at the next meeting.

i’m gonna be a little late & i’ll have to duck out early to switch to the CRB meeting at 6:30 but damn if i wasn’t just thinkin’ about those streetscapes this morning!
just another completely normal day here in charlottesville. attorney richard harry appeared before judge moore this morning to withdraw in the washington v fields et al civil suit... because he was never actually retained by any of the defendants
the apparent forgery of the attorney’s signature, perhaps by jason kessler, came to light back in august dailyprogress.com/news/local/att…
judge moore told harry this morning “i’ll let you out of the case,” but he can’t enter the order until it’s signed by jason kessler or elmer woodard, who has apparently not formally withdrawn as counsel in this case. neither kessler nor woodard appeared in court.
some dixie defenders here in the gallery at the richmond city council meeting tonight. they’re expected to vote on whether or not to ask the legislature to allow the city to decide what to do about the confederate monuments.
steve “we can’t restore our civilization with somebody else’s babies” king, who has unapologetically RTed david duke, is just a few days away from tweeting out the 14 words.
after wandering this weird industrial office space for twenty minutes, i finally found the albemarle county school board meeting by following all the cops.
this space has everything you need in a meeting venue: difficult to find, dark, terrible acoustics, not very many chairs
the dudes in suits whose backs you see to me are creigh deeds & dave toscano
pretty pumped to be at a school board meeting i didn’t feel the need to warn my lawyer i’d be at
charlottesville city school board: theater kids singing a selection from the heathers musical to celebrate a grant that will send them on a trip to NYC
albemarle county school board: a plainclothes cop punching my friend in the face
the first (non-musical) public comment is an educator congratulating & thanking the school board for their work on education, training, and policy reform for equity.
