This week, WTJU is holding their Classical Marathon which means that there will be no radio version of Charlottesville Community Engagement. Yet, the production of the newsletter often depends on harvesting audio recordings of meetings. I’m Sean Tubbs, publisher and president of Town Crier Productions, and I’ve been chopping up sound into stories for over thirty years now. This podcast version for December 10, 2025 includes three sonic articles from the past week so I can make room for the next set.
There will be another regular newsletter later on this evening.
Here are the highlights:
Former Congressman Tom Perriello enters the race for the Democratic nomination to represent Virginia’s Fifth District in the U.S. House of Representatives (read the story)
Two special elections scheduled in Virginia on January 6 (read the story)
Virginia transportation panel briefed on $20 million for Boulders Road project (read the story)
Albemarle Schools seek funding for fourth high school while Supervisors want more data on need (read the story)
