I’m Charlottesville Tomorrow’s government reporter — aka, your resident nerd on how local and state governments serve us. I keep watch of what elected officials are doing, and I also explore what legislation means for us and how effective it is, isn’t, or could be. I want to help us all understand how our government works and be better voters and community participants.
