Google is fighting me in court.

Local governments have refused to reveal how much water a potential Google data center in Botetourt County might use. 

So I sued, arguing that water use is not proprietary and should be made public.

The judge agreed.

Saddened to hear of the passing of Graham Gund, an architect, philanthropist and likely the most influential figure in @KenyonCollege’s recent history.

I had the opportunity to meet Graham back in 2014 for a profile in the @KenyonCollegian magazine: https://t.co/N4Jx02M3BB

Without The Roanoke Rambler, would you have known about the city manager accusing the school district of possible lawbreaking? Or a former city council candidate being charged with election fraud? Or simply what to do on a given weekend? .... ⚡️🗳️🚴‍♀️(1/2)
