Re: “Cuccinelli Denied”
Hi, 'Protecting Children'. The writer here. Borrowing a little more from GayRVA.com, which I cite above:
Judge Robert King, one of the district judges that heard the MacDonald case writes in his opinion overturning the law as unconstitutional: “The anti-sodomy provision does not mention the word “minor,” nor does it remotely suggest that the regulation of sexual relations between adults and children had anything to do with its enactment.”

Right. Shannpalmer has the correct link. Look alive, Jason.

Re: “Spaced Out”
Andrew, Thanks for posting your thoughts and bringing up the High Cost of Free Parking, which was in the back of my mind as I was writing this. Next time I write about parking I'll give you a call, and hopefully we can get your comment in next week's issue as a letter to the editor.
And T, yes, of course I read Richmond.com along with lots of other local and national news outlets. And in the course of reporting this, I did talk to a few people who feel impacted and heard the same complaints voiced in the Richmond.com article you reference. But the purpose of this story isn't to detail renters' upset, which as you point out was already covered well elsewhere. It is to add some historical context to a debate that has been ongoing for 40 years, which I hadn't seen discussed much.
Re: “Police to revelers: Please hold your celebratory gunfire.”
SORRY LORA. We're kind of morons. I'll fix it now.

Re: “Redskins Camp Goes Over Budget, Council Members Angry”
Hi, Gender Curious. None of the female members of council I contacted for this story returned my call. They may also be angry. But I only for sure about Sameuls, Agelasto and Hilbert, and that's who the headline is referring to.
