March 19, 2021 Glenn DuBois Chancellor State Board for Community Colleges 300 Arboretum Place Richmond, VA 23236 Dear Dr. Dubois: It has come to our attention as members of the Virginia General Assembly that the Lord Fairfax Community College Advisory Board recently voted to change the name of Lord Fairfax Community College (LFCC). We understand that the LFCC Advisory Board has recommended this action to the Virginia State Board for Community Colleges and we write to urge you not to act on this request. Instead, we ask that you recognize the overwhelming opposition from the communities served by LFCC who share a deep connection to the institution and loyalty to its identity. We share in the opposition to the decision and are saddened by the LFCC Advisory Board’s lack of consideration of community stakeholders’ input, for whom such a decision requires consultation. Further, the allocation of such significant financial resources for changes to the college name reflects poor stewardship at a time when resources should be spent to advance the needs of community college students. We hope that the board will act in the interest of students consistent with our constituents’ overwhelming desire to support the mission of LFCC and preserve the current institution as it is known in the region. Thank you very much for your consideration and we hope you will contact us if you have further questions. Sincerely, Senator Mark Obenshain Senator Jill Vogel Delegate Todd Gilbert Delegate Michael Webert House Minority Leader Delegate David LaRock Delegate Bill Wiley Delegate Mark Cole CC: President Kim Blosser .

2017 | Virginia YOUR LEGISLATORS’ VOTING RECORD ON VOTING RECORD SMALL BUSINESS ISSUES: 2017 EDITION Issues from the 2016 and 2017 General Assembly Sessions: Floor votes by your state legislators on key small business issues during the past two sessions of the Virginia General Assembly are listed inside. Although this Voting Record does not reflect all elements considered by a lawmaker when voting or represent a complete profile of a legislator, it can be a guide in evaluating your legislator’s attitude toward small business. Note that many issues that affect small business are addressed in committees and never make it to a floor vote in the House or Senate. Please thank those legislators who supported small business and continue to work with those whose scores have fallen short. 2016 Legislation 5.

2020 VPAP Annual Report
Staying Nimble FINDING NEW WAYS TO ELEVATE PUBLIC UNDERSTANDING Top of the News 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. Ballot ANNUAL REPORT 2020 Letter from the Board Chair On many levels, 2020 was both historic and humbling. A global pandemic and economic crisis. Social unrest and calls for racial justice. Political extremism and democracy under siege. Any one of these topics would be enough to contend with in a normal year, but at once 2020 brought many issues into plain sight. What we learned last year is that at a time of uncertainty and upheaval, the public’s hunger for reliable news and information grows exponentially. The STAFF challenge for the Virginia Public Access Project was to meet that demand, while adapting to remote work and rethinking nearly every aspect of our operation. David M. Poole Executive Director We enhanced VaNews to add “Top of the News” for those who value a quick summary of headlines. We developed a COVID-19 dashboard to make it easy Ric Arenstein to track coronavirus cases and deaths as reported by the Virginia Department Major Gifts Officer of Health. And we modified our traditional election night coverage to account for early voting and delayed returns. Rachel Dominy Graphic Design and I am proud of the many ways, large and small, the VPAP team seized Communications Manager opportunity and adapted during such a challenging year. You will find a few of those instances outlined in this annual report. Jason Kostyk Data Developer All of this success was made possible by the encouragement and support of our nearly 1,500 donors.

State Corporation Commission, Ex Parte: Temporary Suspension of Tariff Requirements Case No. PUR-2020-00048 Dear Commissioner Christie: We greatly appreciate the State Corporation Commission’s continued efforts to protect Virginia consumers during the economic crisis caused by the Coronavirus pandemic (“COVID- 19”). Please accept this informatory letter in response to issues and questions raised in the Commission’s May 26 Order in the referenced docket. In its Order, the Commission asserted that the current moratorium on utility service disconnections for nonpayment “is not sustainable” and could result in costs being “unfairly shifted to other customers.” The Order also suggested that this moratorium could have “negative impacts on small, less-capitalized utilities and member-owned electric cooperatives,” which “could impact vital services to all customers of such utilities.” The Commission requested comment regarding whether the current moratorium should be continued, and if so, for how long.
