State makes $137.2 million mistake in school financing
It seems there has been $137.2 million in mistakes in the calculation of the school financing in the state's budget proposal prepared by former governor Mark Warner's staff. The Joint Legislative Audit and Review Commission cited two errors made by the Department of Taxation: A "careless error" in which staff added, rather than subtracted, estimates … Continue reading State makes $137.2 million mistake in school financing
Ex-death row inmate wants full exoneration
Earl Washington, Jr., currently living in Virginia Beach, spent almost 20 years on death row for a crime he did not commit. He was pardoned in 2000 by then-governor Jim Gilmore after DNA testing showed that another man committed the crime.

Webb web ad on TV
So I was watching the news (WVEC) a few minutes ago and the reporter was talking about the George Allen situation and ran the YouTube video. Right behind that, they ran a copy of the Jim Webb web ad, straight from the Webb for Senate website. Hey - that's one way to get a web … Continue reading Webb web ad on TV

About the M-word and the N-word
Ingrid posted this over at RK: The M-word is the equivalent of the N-word in the U.S. And it hurts when someone calls you the M-word. Over the last few days, I've seen numerous postings about these two words. I think I have seen the actual N-word written more times in the last few days … Continue reading About the M-word and the N-word
No Report: Allen/McCain rally in Norfolk
For the second time today, I'm posting a no-report. No, I didn't have technology failure. Yes, I attended the rally. So why no report? Well, my mama always said if you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all 😉 UPDATE: The Daily Press story ain't bad
No Report: NCDC forum
Technology is a great tool - when it works. I recorded the entire Norfolk City Democratic Committee forum last night and then lost the recording when transferring it to the computer! And, I didn't take any notes. Relying on my (increasingly) faulty memory is probably not a good idea. So no real report on the … Continue reading No Report: NCDC forum
