Virginiaâs redistricting commission comes to Southwest Virginia today â at least virtually. Today is the day set aside for an online hearing to listen to what people in Southwest Virginia think about how congressional and legislative lines should be redrawn when the census numbers come out.
Coming up Aug. 3 is an in-person hearing in Richmond for âcentral Virginia,â and on Aug. 5 thereâs one for âthe valley region.â
Seeing as how the commission now doesnât include any representatives from west of Forest, this hearing may be the only way people in Southwest Virginia have any official say at all (whether that âsayâ gets heeded is, of course, an entirely different matter).

hristiansburg Councilwoman Johana Hicks is seeking an apology from other members of town council who in June voted to formally reprimand her.
Unfortunately, all the other council members appear to be on extended respites to Deep State enclaves such as Aspen, Colorado, Sun Valley, Idaho, and Kennebunkport, Maine. For your information, thatâs where good old boys gather to secretly plot against norm-busting, rabble-rousing populists.
In a spirit of helpfulness and sarcasm (and because Iâm an ace letter writer) Iâve drafted a response on behalf of Hicksâs vacationing colleagues.

Dear Councilwoman Hicks,
Please consider this letter a pungent apology for the slings and arrows youâve endured during your 18-month tenure on the Christiansburg Town Council. We are so sorry!
