Richmond Votes on School Tax | Richmond News

Richmond’s schools could get a major boost if voters approve a one percent sales tax hike on the November ballot—money earmarked exclusively for new classrooms and school repairs. Meanwhile, the City Council is also set to greenlight bonds for 126 new rental units in the 7th district and hold a closed session on legal issues tied to the John Marshall Courthouse. Other local bodies are busy too: the Public Safety committee will review crime stats and the Family Justice Center, while the Architectural Review Commission eyes a new mural in the East End. Over in Henrico, supervisors are debating a new comprehensive plan, zoning tweaks, and a 4 percent pay bump for school staff—after a 1 percent raise. These decisions could shape Richmond’s future for years to come. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
