Our Legislator is running for Re-Election
After the veto of HB 5001, the House Privileges & Elections Committee (P & E), of which I am a member, followed the Governor’s advice to take the opportunity to strengthen the plan we had originally passed. On April 18th, the P & E Committee met and approved by a vote 16-0 House Bill 5005, strengthening our original plan by making several adjustments.
…If re-elected in November of this year, I will certainly miss all the constituents in the precincts that the 25th District is losing, but look forward to making new friends and having the privilege of serving new constituents.

From the Crozet Gazette :
Crozet’s population (Census Bureau boundaries roughly overlap the Crozet Growth Area) grew from 2,585 in 2000 to 5,560 last year. That means White Hall District—which started out as the district already closest to ideal—needs to shed about 950 people, which happens to be very near the size of Yellow Mountain precinct, which, broadly, is a southern section of Greenwood. One advantage in being able to shift a whole precinct is that no change of polling place need happen.
Crozet Update – Safe Routes to School, Library, Streetscape, Jarman’s Gap
Phase 2 – Crozet Avenue : Utilities must be moved and all right-of-way acquired before we’ll get VDOT approval to move into the construction phase. … I I’ve been working a long time to resolve the owner issues for one right-of-way dedication and I’m hoping to get word that they’re ready to sign later this week. … VDOT had a parking plan prepared (by our consultant) to serve as the cost basis for their acquisition of the Jarmans Gap Road right-of-way. It also was to serve as a means to demonstrate how the Church and Blue Goose future parking plans and our proposed shared entrance onto Crozet Avenue would work in concert.
