VCOG's annual legislative bill chart

Three bills have now been filed, all dealing with the identity of lottery winners.
- HB 1650 prohibits the release of names of winners of prizes worth more than $10 million
- SB 1060 allows a winner to submit a written notice that he/she does not wish his/her "personal information," released
- SB 1082 prohibits the release of any information about winners unless the winner consents in writing.
Here's an op-ed about lottery winner names written by former VCOG board member Frank LoMonte, published in June in The Washington Post
Without the police data it says it needs to draft bylaws, the Charlottesville Police Civilian Review Board said Tuesday that it cannot move forward with its mission. In August, the seven-person board began its specific task of drafting bylaws that will guide a later, functional board. On Tuesday, the members of the CRB appeared to agree that they could not move forward with drafting the bylaws, saying data on arrests and stop-and-frisks were crucial to its task. “We believe as a CRB we should get access to data that lets us know what is going on with our city,” member Sarah Burke said. “City Council seems to think that we can draft bylaws apart from that data.”
The Daily Progress
Charlottesville’s city councilors spent nearly eight hours on Tuesday at a retreat that weaved between team-building exercises with a facilitator and a de-facto therapy session as they aired their grievances with each other, the media and the community members who address them at meetings. Councilors hesitated several times in the meeting before sharing thoughts that could be posted on Twitter or printed in ink. The retreat was not televised. The retreat later focused on the conduct of City Council meetings.
