Proposal To Ban Indoor Furniture From Porches And Yards
From Times Dispatch article:
A Richmond City Council panel on Tuesday advanced a proposal that would ban indoor furniture and mattresses from porches and yards.
The measure is less about dictating tasteful porch decor and more about giving the city recourse to collect discarded mattresses and couches, said Councilman Parker C. Agelasto, 5th District, who sponsored the measure.
…
At a public hearing on the two ordinances, Jean V. Capel, the city clerk, was the only person to speak.
She said she supported the furniture measure because indoor furniture left on porches spawns mold and can be a fire hazard.
The ordinance specifies that “use or storage of upholstered furniture, including mattresses, manufactured primarily for indoor use shall be prohibited on any front or side yard visible from any public place, sidewalk or road” or “any front or side porch.”
Colonial Heights, Henrico County and Emporia already have similar rules in place, according to a City Council member.
Residents cited for a violation would be fined $100, plus the cost of removing the furniture.
Redistricting Proposals

The Richmond Times-Dispatch had a great article about the court order redistricting for the US 3rd Congressional District held by Rep. Bobby Scott. The expert proposal brought in to review this case has recommended two proposals that would redistrict the City of Richmond into the US 4th Congressional District held by Rep. Randy Forbes. The following images allow for a comparison of the current and proposed redistricting that would change representation for Richmond voters.
