STAUNTON, Va. (WVIR) - Staunton Staunton City Council, as a whole, has been asked several times to denounce the attack on the United States Capitol Building. Thursday night, that subject was put to rest.
The effort initially led by former Councilman Erik Curren produced a petition with more than 300 signatures asking City Council for three things.
1. Affirm the election of President Biden.
2. Denounce the January 6, 2021 insurrection at the U.S. Capitol.
