Richmond Times-Dispatch:
Despite court prodding and changes in state election laws, 16 Virginia localities have failed to meet a deadline to allow absentee ballots of military personnel serving overseas to be counted on time.
Nancy Rodriques, secretary of the State Board of Elections, said she did not know how many ballots will not be counted.
The local election [...]
It’s allowed us to determine what groups and persons have a shred of intelligence and sanity.
And on that front, it looks like the Virginia Citizens Defense League (VCDL) has joined the Gun Owners of America and the “American Patriots Committee” in showing they shouldn’t be trusted as far as you can throw them:
VCDL-PAC is endorsing [...]
Why? Because I love a profitable company. I really love companies that make obscene profits.
In fact, if I had a single spare cent to my name, I would be inquiring about buying some stock in Aqua Virginia (assuming that they provide a regular cash dividend).
But do not fret Aqua Virginia customers, in a year or [...]
The Shad Plank (the Daily Press’s blog) has the details.
Interestingly, Pollard has also secured the endorsement of the National Rifle Association (NRA).
On October 17, 2009, Creigh Deeds, Gov. Tim Kaine, and Lieutenant Governor candidate Jody Wagner will all be appearing in Fredericksburg at the University of Mary Washington at 4:00 p.m.
What else is happening on October 17? Why, the Bowling Green Harvest Festival. Yeah, the same Harvest Festival that attracts around 15,000 people, even if it [...]
I was on my way to Richmond this morning on I-95S around 7:30 p.m. listening to the D.J. on 95.9FM (WGRQ). For those unfamiliar with the station, 95.9FM is the self-described “home for the SuperHits of The 60’s & 70’s”, which means this play the same oldies/classic rock every hour. I keep them preset on [...]
I did a little research (called a Google search in these parts), and I answered my own question from a previous post. First, we don’t have recall elections in this state, but recall trials (seriously). Consult Va. Code § 24.2-233:
Upon petition, a circuit court may remove from office any elected officer or officer who has [...]
The Free Lance–Star:
A former Caroline County deputy was re-indicted this week on allegations that he feloniously abused a child.
Clyde Charles Davenport, 49, of Ashland, was indicted in Caroline County Circuit Court Wednesday on charges of child abuse, child abuse resulting in serious injury and malicious bodily injury.
According to Commonwealth’s Attorney Tony Spencer, the charges stem [...]
How do you describe an increase in attendance of 5,722 people (2.4%) at an event? Well, that depends on what newspaper you are:
Richmond Times-Dispatch: “Attendance rises slightly at State Fair’s new home”.
The Free Lance–Star: “Virginia State Fair attendance jumps in Caroline”.
Debate amongst yourselves.
Clyde Davenport was charged with five counts of forcible sodomy back in July 2008. All charges were dropped on September 30th.
Sound familiar?
I asked regarding a different case and I’ll ask again: “Which office does he go to to get his reputation back?”
