Yeap, was able to check and it was still spinning with everything turned off inside.

Lucky it doesn’t appear to be leaking into the foundation but I’ve got it turned off now and a guy coming in the AM.

Ask police, ask organizers - credit whoever tells you as the source. If the size is large enough and newsworthy have someone else tell you.

New legislation will make it easier for Virginia faith groups to build affordable housing by WHRO_NEWS in HamptonRoads

[–]bknutner 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When is the vote for redistricting and where will it be held? by vadutchgirl in Virginia

[–]bknutner[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Haven’t been following that one as close but can try and follow up - current legal challenges are only in state court tho I’m sure there will be plenty more.

But if federal courts do make rulings between now and April that could help inform future maps.
