You will now find RSS feeds offered by the RichmondSunlight which is a site that tracks legislative activity. At http://www.myvaresources.com/blogs/depotdazed, you can now find 4 new features:

1. RSS feeds for comments made by citizens on different bills.
2. RSS feeds containing those bills sponsored by Del. Dave Nutter.
3. RSS fees containing those bills sponsored by Del. Jim Shuler.
4. RSS feeds containing those bills sponsored by Sen. Ralph Smith.

One of the first things I noted was as comment: Kathleen SB1065. Following the links on that brought me to where I found that the bill was to prevent Associations from restricting people from saving energy by utilizing wind driven drying devices …..CLOTHESLINES. Del. Nutter voted against the bill, Del. Shuler voted for it.

Home all those Associations feel safe knowing that they will not have to tolerate some neighbor hanging bloomers in their backyards! Oh…my…gawd….this was just too much. I can see I am going to be spending a lot of time looking at what elected officials are doing here.

• Montgomery County Schoolboard forum
• The first of two Blacksburg Town Council forums
• State Delegate forum

Thanks to the Town of Blacksburg for recording and hosting the two Blacksburg forums.

Thanks to Montgomery County for providing copies of the video for the LWV to convert and put on the LWV’s website.

Thanks to the candidates and the audience participants.

And a special thanks to those members of the League of Women Voters of Montgomery County, the Virginia Interfaith Center, and the N.A.A.C.P. for the volunteer help that made these forums possible.
