During the final weeks of the year, local leaders list what they want state legislators to focus on during the upcoming General Assembly session in Richmond.
Some might call it “bringing home the bacon.”

There’s a lot of uncertainty among Virginia lawmakers who had gotten used to Democratic control in Richmond.
At a recent joint meeting of state and local lawmakers in Woodbridge, many asked whether or not incoming Virginia Governor Glenn Youngkin — the first Republican to win the highest office in the state in the past 12 years — would continue funding investments in rail and public transportation, or if he would instead favor new road construction.

With the General Election in our rearview mirror, many have asked me, “is that the end to your busy season?”
The short answer: Our work is just beginning.
I have two reminders for our paid members and those considering becoming paid members for 100% access to our journalism and other exclusives, such as town halls, community discussions, and my publisher’s email update.
Paid members are going to need to log in again after Monday.
Happy Thursday, everyone.

Hello and Happy Wednesday.
I’m taking a moment to update you on a few things happening locally, as well as a few things happening here at PLN.
I remember the first time I covered a meeting of the Prince William County Planning Commission.
The body, appointed by members of the Board of County Supervisors, meets regularly and is tasked with making recommendations to the Supervisors on land-use matters. Putting simply, if a large development like a neighborhood of homes or a large shopping mall is built, plans for the new development have most likely passed through the Planning Commission.
I’m excited to announce that, in the coming days you’re going to see even more local news in our regular news email.
The addition of more local news into our local news email comes after we introduced a new adopt pets feature and more local ads into our news email.
