And Saturday, shortly after her inauguration, Governor Spanberger signed an order that gives her "the option to remove Virginia State Police from this agreement," according to a gubernatorial spokesperson. Spanberger had promised to nix the order on the campaign trail. When asked if or when she expected the relationship between the state and federal agencies to end, the spokesperson declined to comment.

TJ Smith I'm personally more interested in Livable Cville's attempts to infiltrate Crozet as hiahlighted by their upcoming sociak hour at Bar Botanical. Perhaps they'll be able to explain at this gathering how initiatives proposed by their leadership such as eliminating vehicular lanes on key commuting routes for Crozet residents (Ivy Road and 5th Street) replicating the city's new anti-SFR zoning code in the county and a scorched earth approach to building so-called affordable housing will promote livability for Crozet residents.
