A brief is not an accusation. It is an accounting.
Every brief starts with a question the public record can answer, and ends where the evidence ends. The finding, the documents behind it, and the gaps we could not close — all stated plainly, so you can check the work rather than take our word for it.
All Briefs
Every published brief archives here. Each one built from the primary record — the documents, the filings, the evidence the public was always entitled to review.
Public financing, a private building, and a sitting member of Council.
Submitted to the Richlands Town Council for the record. The brief traces VCEDA financing directed to the Richlands Professional Building at 1600 Front Street, in connection with Project Gideon, and documents the participation of a sitting Council member in the closed sessions that considered it. It sets out the timeline against § 2.2-3112(A) and states where the record stops.
