King Street Gardens Park Foundation chairman Rodger Digilio has an idea —buy a brick. In the first group of sales, which ended last year, the foundation raised about $6,000 for the city to help pay for lighting, signage, irrigation and new plantings. “It’s a great way of supporting the park and the city,” Digilio said during Saturday’s public hearing. “I like to urge people to give them to grandchildren.” “Is that similar to getting coal in your stocking,” asked Vice Mayor Kerry Donley. “ “That was unkind,” Digilio responded. “But I’ll forgive you for your years of service.” “I couldn’t resist,” Donley responded “Is it true that you’re not coming back in the spring?” Digilio asked Donley, who did not run for reelection this year. “It’s true,” responded the lame duck vice mayor.

  • Dirty Needle Exchange Programs Work to Reduce Harm
    DRAFT-RF 08/11/2017 Issue: Opioid Crisis and Medicaid Expansion Dirty Needle Exchange Programs Work to Reduce Harm. Republicans don’t support legislation connecting people to addiction treatment. Governor McAuliffe has declared the opioid addiction crisis a public health emergency in Virginia. In early 2017, he worked with Democrats and Republicans alike to pass a bill to reduce the damage of the epidemic by helping people find treatment. Bill HB 2317 allows local health departments to administer harm reduction programs in parts of the state with high rates of HIV and hepatitis. These programs will exchange dirty syringes for clean ones, offer testing for hepatitis C and HIV, and connect people to addiction treatment. Republican delegates, Bob Marshall (HD13), James LeMunyon (HD67), Randy Minchew (HD10), and a slew of other Republicans voted against the bill. Republican delegate, Tag Greason (HD 32) refused to support the bill and didn’t bother voting. The Republican majority in the House of Delegates also prevented the expansion of Medicaid, denying 400,000 eligible Virginians access to Substance Abuse Services. It’s time to vote for Democrats to reverse these heartless policies and start putting in place effective programs like these and Medicaid Expansion to help people get treatment. Vote For these Opioid Epidemic Legislation HD Locality HB 2317 Democrats instead Mark Dudenhefer (not running) HD2 DC Metro No Jennifer Foy Randy Minchew HD10 DC Metro No Wendy Gooditis Joseph R Yost HD12 SW VA Yes Chris Hurst Robert G Marshall HD13 DC
