RICHMOND – Democratic legislators are pushing for apackage of bills to make it easier for Virginians to vote,including proposals to let people register on ElectionDay and to cast an absentee ballot for any reason.

Delegate Debra Rodman of Henrico County hasintroduced House Bill 449, which would repeal thedeadline for registering to vote before an election.Instead, eligible voters could register at any time,including the day of the election.

I am critically proud for this opportunity, allof these opportunities, that will allowVirginians true access to the ballot (Rodmansaid). Knowledge and access are imperative tothe evolution of our democracy.

So far, Democrats in the House and Senate have filedabout 45 bills and a half-dozen constitutionalamendments to expand voting rights. They include:

4/16/2018 Democrats Roll Out Voting Rights Agenda - Fairfax Free Citizen

https://fairfaxfreecitizen.com/2018/01/18/democrats-roll-voting-rights-agenda/ 2/8

HB 835, introduced by Delegate Lamont Bagby of Henrico County. It would eliminate the requirement tostate a reason in order to vote absentee in person. A registered voter still would have to provide a qualifiedexcuse, such as illness or a long work schedule, to vote absentee by mail.

HB 1079, by Delegate Delores McQuinn of Richmond. It would repeal the requirement that voters show aphoto identification at the polls to get a ballot. Democrats say that requirement is an obstacle for low-income, elderly and minority voters.

HB 944, by Delegate Alfonso Lopez of Arlington. It would let 16- and 17-year-olds pre-register to vote.“Helping young Virginians and Americans register to vote increases the odds that they will make a lifelonghabit of electoral participation,” Lopez said.

House Joint Resolution 33, a constitutional amendment proposed by Delegate Sam Rasoul of Roanoke. Itwould let 16- and 17-year-olds vote in local elections.

 

On some voting-related issues, Democrats and Republicans share common ground. Members of both parties,for example, want to make it easier for members of the U.S. military to vote.

Delegate Steven Landes, a Republican from Augusta County, has introduced HB 1139, which would create apilot program for military personnel who are registered to vote in Virginia and are deployed overseas to cast anelectronic ballot.

Delegate Kathy Tran, a Democrat from Fairfax, has a similar measure—HB 1058.

This is a very valuable and worthwhile investment for the people on the frontlines defendingour values and right to vote (said Tran, whose brother, David, serves in the U.S. MarineCorps).

But generally, Republicans are more focused on ballot security and voting integrity. Many Republicanlawmakers believe that voter fraud is a serious problem.

Senator Mark Obenshain of Harrisonburg is sponsoring Senate Bill 523, which would require the state to createelectronic poll books with photos of registered voters. Poll workers would use those books to verify who canvote. The General Assembly passed such a bill last year, but then-Governor Terry McAuliffe vetoed it.

Moreover, Senator Ben Chafin of Russell County has filed SB 834, which would require the Virginia Departmentof Elections to identify people who are registered to vote not only in Virginia but also in another state.

Democrats may face an uphill battle advancing their agenda in the General Assembly, where Republicans hold amajority in both chambers.

On Tuesday, the Senate Privileges and Elections Committee killed several Democratic proposals.

On a party-line vote, the committee spiked SB 452, an attempt by Senator Rosalyn Dance, D-Petersburg, torescind the requirement to show a photo ID at the polling place. All eight Republicans on the panel voted toshelve the bill; all six Democrats voted to keep it alive.

The Rev. Wyatt Tee Walker, a civil rights icon who worked closely with the Rev. Dr. MartinLuther King Jr., died Tuesday morning at an assisted-living facility in Chester, south ofRichmond.

“The Commonwealth and our country are a better place because of his leadership in thestruggle for civil rights,” Sen. Mark Warner said. Sen. Tim Kaine called Walker “a man I’veknown and admired for many years.”

Walker’s death at age 88 was announced by the Rev. Al Sharpton, who described him as “a truegiant and irreplaceable leader.”

Added the Rev. Jesse Jackson: “One of the tallest trees of the civil rights movement has fallen.”

Walker was born to the Rev. John Wise and Maude Pinn Walker, both graduates of VirginiaUnion University, on Aug. 16, 1929, in Brockton, Massachusetts. He grew up in a home full ofbooks but struggling with poverty during the Great Depression.

In 1950, Walker followed his parents’ path to Virginia Union University, receiving Bachelor ofDivinity degree in 1953. Soon after, he moved to Petersburg.

During his seven-year tenure at Gillfield Baptist, Walker vitalized the struggle for civil rights inthat city south of Richmond. He served as president of the local chapter of the NationalAssociation for the Advancement of Colored People, founded the Petersburg ImprovementAssociation and sued the city in federal court for access to the public but segregated swimmingpool in Lee Park. The city responded by temporarily closing the pool rather than integrate it.

For his efforts, Walker was arrested 17 times. He had many notable achievements, includingthe desegregation of lunch counters at restaurants at the bus terminal.

In 1958, Walker co-founded the Congress of Racial Equality and served as its state director.

In 1960, Walker moved to Alabama at King’s behest. Serving as the executive director of theSouthern Christian Leadership Conference from 1960 to 1964, he improved the organization’sfundraising, structure, strategy and publicity.

Discussing his leadership in the SCLC, Walker once described himself as someone “who didn’tcare about being loved to get it done – I didn’t give a damn about whether people liked me, butI knew I could do the job.’’

After resigning from the SCLC in 1964, Walker became vice president and then president of theNegro Heritage Library, a publishing venture aimed at increasing black history and literature inpublic school curriculums. He also became pastor of Canaan Baptist Church of Christ inHarlem.

King spoke to Walker’s congregation in 1968, describing him as ‘‘a tall man – tall in stature, tallin courage.’’

At the church in Harlem, Walker hosted numerous African leaders active in opposing apartheidand colonization of the continent, including Nelson Mandela.

Walker was no stranger to danger. He braved constant threats campaigning for civil rights inthe Jim Crow south and continued daring death in Harlem, campaigning and preaching againstthe drug trade. The mobster Frank Lucas once allegedly put a bounty on Walkers’s head.

After suffering a stroke in 2004, Walker left Canaan Baptist and moved back to Virginia to livenear relatives. Walker is survived by his wife of 68 years, Theresa Edwards Walker; his daughter,Patrice Powell; three sons – Robert, Earl, and Wyatt Jr.; his sister, Mary Holley; and twogranddaughters.

Members of Richmond City Council also collectively released a statement on Rev. Walker’spassing:

“It is with deep and profound sadness that Richmond City Council learned of the passing today

of The Rev. Dr. Wyatt Tee Walker.

A Richmond-area resident for a number of years, The Rev. Dr. Wyatt Tee Walker was an

important national civil rights activist for more than 60 years and had served as a Chief of Staff

to The Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. He passed today at his home in Chester, Virginia at age 88.

Our hearts and prayers go out to his family during this difficult time as we share in mourning his

passing and in honoring and remembering his tremendous life, historic contributions, and

legacy.

A true national treasure, Dr. Walker helped lead trailblazing efforts fighting racial injustice and

will be long remembered for his work on behalf of racial equality and African American success.

Born in Brockton, Massachusetts on August 16, 1929, Dr. Walker earned his Bachelor’s Degree in

1950 from Virginia Union University in Richmond, Virginia and his Master of Divinity Degree

from there three years later. He also held a doctorate from Colgate Rochester Crozer Divinity

Richmond City Council votes to re�nance Redskins campconstruction loanPOSTED 6:21 PM, FEBRUARY 27, 2018, BY CAPITAL NEWS SERVICE, UPDATED AT 06:53PM, FEBRUARY 27, 2018

RICHMOND, Va. -- Richmond City Council members voted to re�nance a loan taken out to build theWashington Redskins training camp, committing $750,000 of taxpayer money annually for the next 15years.

The original 2013 deal — a $10 million loan to be paid over the course of �ve years — was made by theadministration of former Mayor Dwight Jones through the city’s Economic Development Authority.

Mayor Levar Stoney’s administration requested the re�nance.

“This is a rock and a hard place,” council President Christopher Hilbert said at the meeting Monday. “This isa distasteful decision... we’re going to have to make the best of our ugly options.”

The Redskins deal has become a source of contention since it became evident that naming rights and otherrevenue tied to the development of Bon Secours Washington Redskins Training Center have failed to payfor the note, as was initially anticipated. The camp is located on West Leigh Street in Richmond, near theScience Museum of Virginia.

Some council members asked for a 60-day delay in deciding whether to �nance. Councilman ParkerAgelasto of the 5th District was vocal among them.

“The deal was rushed. The solution should not be rushed as well,” Agelasto said. “We need to take controlover this problem project. We cannot just take over the bad debt; we have to take over the whole deal toget this resolved.”

The administration, however, pushed for the vote, arguing that a delay would force the mayor to add $8.6million to his �scal 2019 budget to complete the debt payment, said Lenora Reid, deputy chiefadministrative of�cer for �nance and administration.

“We don’t have $8.6 million of operating funds in the FY 19 budget,” Reid said.

Council members were split on the decision as well. Cynthia Newbille of the 7th District opposed the delay.

“This $8.6 million is a current liability for the council in this moment,” she said.

The re�nancing was approved 6-3. Council members in support of the vote were Hilbert, Newbille,Andreas Addison of the 1st District, Ellen Robertson of the 6th District, Kristen Larson of the 4th Districtand Michael Jones of the 9th District. Voting in opposition in addition to Agelasto were Kimberly Gray ofthe 2nd District and Reva Trammell of the 8th District.

“I will not neglect my �scal responsibility,” Larson said. “We have already committed to this debt.

Added Hilbert: “We have the debt, we have to deal with it.”

Annual payments of $750,000 will be in addition to $500,000 in cash, goods and services that are to bepaid to the franchise by the city’s Economic Development Authority each year the team trains at thecenter. This follows $2.4 million the team has already received in cash and credits.

The vote preceded a July 1 deadline to renegotiate the city’s initial eight-year agreement with thefranchise. Meantime, Hilbert, Agelasto, and Gray have signed a request from Larson asking City AuditorLou Lassitter to audit the deal.
