Like being a "little" pregnant In an otherwise good article about the probable impacts of DIA/NGIC on our community [“In jobs we trust?”, January 26], Will Goldsmith—one of our community’s best reporters—concludes with a crumb of serious misinformation. He accurately points out that the new government outfits will hire few of our own un- and […]

United we stand As one of the persons interviewed, I wanted to add some important information to the cover article “Will Work for Meds” [January 5]. Since my one phone interview by Ms. Canzi in November, United Way’s RxRelief program funded by the Virginia Health Care Foundation has increasingly become an important resource for our […]
Answering the need Regarding your January 5 article, “Will Work for Meds,” the good news that was missing from the story is that since November 2007, United Way-Thomas Jefferson Area has had our Medication Assistance Caseworker, Helen Frye, at Region Ten nearly five days a week. Our RxRelief Prescription Assistance Program helps low-income, uninsured […]
Perriello got it wrong I commend John Whitehead and the Rutherford Institute for defending the free speech rights of the protesters in front of Perriello’s office [“Pavement blues,” Government News, December 22]. I really think our notorious Obamanite Congressmen has a “thin skin” when it comes to criticism of his policies. He does NOT represent […]
As a public health professional for more than 30 years, I applaud Rep. Tom Periello and others who voted in favor of the recent healthcare legislation [“Perriello looks ahead to 2010,” December 1, 2009]. The reforms contained in this legislation help move us from a system designed to provide expensive care when people are sick […]
Lose the stereotype Although The Bridge art space is described in the subhead to your cover story as “the city’s freshest art space” I have to say I was put off by the stale image that was used by Greg Kelly in the very first paragraph of the article [“Greg Kelly’s big vision for local […]
For your interest You asked about supporting Tom Perriello [“Perriello looks ahead to 2010,” December 1]. How can any Virginian support a Representative who is bent on ruining our economy by voting for Cap and Trade Bill and a Health Care Bill which will include a government run single-payer health care system? Mr. Perriello is […]
Opposites attract I will work for and donate to anyone who runs against Congressman Perriello [“Perriello looks ahead to 2010,” December 1]. The current Congress is intoxicated with spending without the honesty or integrity to raise the income taxes necessary to pay for their spending. Congress uses spending to buy votes and expects our children […]
True north For 20 or so years now, my brother and I have been owners of property on the side of Cook’s Mountain in North Garden, having ultimately inherited it from our grandfather, who bought in 1909. He and our grandmother lived there until 1918, when they moved to Charlottesville. We often drove down from […]
You are where? After reading the article on the extended-stay hotel proposed for West Main [Development News, November 24], I still don’t know where it will be, other than somewhere on West Main Street. I do know it will “sit where the Studio Art Shop is currently located-also known as Sycamore House- next to Kane […]
