My latest op-ed appeared in The Virginian-Pilot Wednesday. Although Norfolk has no races on the ballot until next May, when the two superwards are up for election, it is rushing towards adopting a plan.

I attended both the informal and formal sessions of Norfolk Council last night. The informal session (which you can view here) did not make it through its agenda.
