Subversive sustainabilists: Communists and Marxists infiltrate Albemarle County government
In its million-dollar maniacal pursuit to implement the 1998 Sustainability Accords in Albemarle County and Charlottesville, the Thomas Jefferson Planning District Commission (TJPDC) has operated as an enemy of free people, threatening individual liberties and property rights endowed us by our Creator.

Cold stone crazy: Charlottesville city using capital improvement funds to buy “free” ice cream for neighborhoods

Roadkill: VDOT tells Army Corps to pull plug on Meadowcreek Parkway permit
In the midst of multiple lawsuits challenging Charlottesville and Albemarle’s Meadowcreek Parkway, a new development may render the long-simmering project roadkill. At issue is the segmentation strategy, wherein the localities split the road into three distinct projects—Meadowcreek Parkway, McIntire Road Extended, and the 250 Bypass Interchange—purportedly in order to avoid greater federal environmental scrutiny.

Ménage a trois: Piedmont Sierra Club urges Albemarle re-affiliation with ICLEI
