I’m excited our city council has provided us the opportunity to continuing working with our new City Manager (and former interim Commissioner)!

Congratulations to the next Williamsburg City Manager, Michele Mixner DeWitt! 🎉

“Michele has demonstrated exceptional leadership not only during her time as interim city manager, but throughout her 20 years of dedicated service in a variety of roles within our City organization,” Mayor Douglas G. Pons said. “The City Council saw no need for the disruption of a search when we already have someone so well-known, qualified, and trusted by our community. We are confident in her ability and unwavering commitment to Williamsburg, and we have full faith that she will continue to move our city forward with the best interest of our residents at the center of everything she does.”

An informative article related to Virginia's proposed redistricting amendment having to do with a 1912 amendment about electing commissioners of the revenue and treasurers.

One amusing anecdote... "When he died in 1924, Adams was lionized for never reporting delinquent taxes in the city, partly because he considered it cheaper to pay any unpaid taxes out of his own pocket rather than go through the hassle of seizing property and putting it up for sale." Don't y'all expect the Commissioner in Williamsburg today to exercise the same policy!

A 1912 Virginia Supreme Court case held that justices should let an election go forward, then rule afterwards if it was constitutional. Here’s the story.

Y’all please be safe! Some preparation now for multiple days of no electricity and impassible roads may save a lot of suffering later. Temperatures all of next week are not forecast to get above freezing so whatever snow/ice/sleet/freezing rain comes down won’t be melting anytime soon!

Buoyed by lots of good cheer and hope for a brighter future for the Commonwealth, Historic Triangle Dems kicked off the Holiday Season yesterday! Thanks to those who joined us and to those who brought donations to support so many of our neighbors struggling with food insecurity.
