Reply to Respectfully RIP Rep Donald McEachin, but Stoney should not be on the shortlist to replace this man by UlruthOldran
I went to an anti-gun violence event featuring Rep. McEachin a few weeks before he passed. News broke minutes before that the Chief of Police resigned. I took notes because what he said shocked me as he discussed another sitting elected Democratic official:
>The mayor is so busy trying to ‘build businesses’ while letting crime run amok. The Chief of Police was stuck...able to do nothing without the mayor.
Something tells me our late Congressman would agree with you.

Also, it was out of 80,000ish votes. In the scheme of things, a couple thousand votes is not a questionable margin.

Funny, when I show up with a few hundred friends to talk about gun violence, he's not around. Maybe he's hanging out with other people in Richmond.

One of the last things McEachin did before passing was go after Stoney at a RISC meeting for not taking measures to curb gun violence. I now think this was foreshadowing.

Always worth calling to check instead of relying on the app.

That's all well and good but that part of Chamberlayne is busy and loud in general. Regardless, cities should be walkable and if someone is in danger of being hit by a vehicle in a street (in Shockoe or Northside or anywhere else), that's indicative of a policy failure.
