News and information round-up for December 1, 2019

Here is another attempt to take the time I tweet out information and turn that labor into another product. This is mostly from the e-edition of the Daily Progress.

And here I can correct typos! I make a lot on Twitter. A lot. 

• First, @TylerHammelVA reports on the re-filing of a bill to end license suspensions of those who can't pay their court debt. It's from Senator @BillStanley #VGA2020 (bit.ly/34C0S3W)
• Albemarle County Schools is switching their strategy on how to get broadband to students without it. They'll hand out hot spots rather than continue to build their own network. @Knott_Katherine has the story (bit.ly/2Y3BPEF)
• Charlottesville's new city manager is introducing zero-based budgeting to the next fiscal year. That may have created concerns about the capital budget last month. @nstoutDP has this story in the @DailyProgress (bit.ly/2Dy8Tee)
• Pausing tweeting stories from the now to go back to get one from the past. It's always good to point out when things have happened here before. In 2009, @ShulleetaFiles reported on how zero-based budgeting became part of elections for Albemarle Supervisor. Thank you @DailyProgress for having this story up still! (bit.ly/34Ok2E5) 
• After Republicans gained a majority in 2009, they debated the practice in 2010. I wrote about it for @cvilletomorrow  (bit.ly/33zan2J) (The older stories did not format gracefully the last time they were transferred to a new site.)
• Back to 2019 and the growing Second Amendment Sanctuary movement. Greene County took up the matter last Tuesday and the Sheriff supports it. Coverage of the meeting from @TerryBeigie (bit.ly/34A2ETc)
• Charges have been filed against a Maltese businessman accused of helping kill reporter Daphne Caruana Galizia in 2017 car bombing. I was glad to read this on page A4 of the @DailyProgress (bit.ly/33DIF4X)
• In a follow-up, a former chief of staff of the current Maltese Prime Minister is also connected to the investigation. There have been protests, but the PM's party backs him up. (bit.ly/2DBH4lv) 
• The Richmond Times editorial today is in support of putting solar on top of schools, and is based on a @Gen_180 report.
  
  Here's the editorial:  (bit.ly/2OB79r9) And here's the report:(bit.ly/2Y4NqmN)
