    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.

  • Why Do You Need That Gun? Your Comments Needed
    A Publication of Virginia Citizens Defense League, Inc. ♦ Summer 2016 ♦ WHY DO YOU NEED THAT GUN? VCDL IN NATIONAL NEWS How many of us have ever been asked “Why do you need that gun?” Perhaps it’s a spouse, or a family member, or a friend — or an anti-gunner. How do you answer? Here’s some food for thought. The item was originally written by an individual who prefers to remain unnamed, partly because the answer is irrelevant, and partly to avoid noting he may have guns in his home. The individual was responding to a friend after announcing he had ordered a gun through his dealer. Your Editor has chosen to respect this request. Your question... why do I NEED this gun, is the same as that asked by anti-gunners, and for the same reason. Implicit in the question is the statement, "I don't need it; why do you?" I'm not saying that you or your question is anti-gun, but am pointing out the similarity based on a self-perceived notion of "need." I don't need that gun, and I wouldn't buy it rather than pay the rent, buy baby formula or have the cancer surgery. You might ask Jay Leno the same question about his cars and, if he doesn't say "f-off", you'll probably get the same answer. Jay Leno likes his cars, can afford them and they provide him entertainment and challenge for that time of his life which he probably believes, he deserves. I like to buy guns.

Eastern Division 4551 Forbes Blvd Lanham, MD 20706 Dear Mr. Lofland, We are writing to you today to express our concern that Safeway’s “appreciation pay” program was ended on June 13. Many of our constituents work and shop in your stores and we know that the danger to your employees on the front lines continues to exist and your company continues to make millions in profits from the hard work these heroes continue to do every day to serve their neighbors. While other industries are suffering and thousands of our neighbors are unemployed and facing financial hardship, the grocery industry is booming. Sales are up as people are eating more at home, and we know that trend will continue for the foreseeable future. With the grocery store one of the few places people are going to regularly, it has become a dangerous place and everyone who works there is putting themselves and their family at risk on every shift. Safeway has also refused to institute real limits on customers in the store, making your stores even higher risk for employees to acquire COVID-19 and potentially pass it to co-workers, customers, or family. We know that you instituted a “thank you” bonus for some employees going forward, but that does not replace the “appreciation pay” premium added on to hourly pay, which many of your competitors have already agreed to extend farther into June, or, in some cases, July.

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.
