    Big Tech's ugly data centers finally meet the opposition | Froma Harrop

      It appears that folks living in the gently rolling farmland of southwestern Ohio don't want a 2 million-square-foot data center plopped down the road from their front porches. What's wrong with them? Are they snotty not-in-my-backyard liberals?

      Africa proves resilient after cut in US aid | Washington Post

        The Trump administration’s sharp reduction in aid to Africa last year seemed likely to cause a continent-wide crisis of apocalyptic proportions. While there has been pain, particularly in health care, many African nations displayed remarkable resilience.

                      Cities such as New York and Chicago are in deep financial trouble. Broadly speaking, they have two options: Make the difficult but appropriate choice to raise taxes and reduce the scale of government, or continue to live in a state of denial, increasing their pension obligations while also promising their residents more services.

                        The recent article on the Virginia Virtual Academy was unfair to the school and unfair to the many parents and families across the state of Virginia that continue to choose to enjoy the flexibility VAVA offers. It would have provided a more accurate representation if you would have spoken to more VAVA families. We love VAVA, and it has been a wonderful school for our family over the past 12 years. Parents and families from across the Commonwealth would’ve told you very different stories.

                        Letter: Morrissey opinion piece is disingenuous

                        Letter: Morrissey opinion piece is disingenuous

                        Mr. Joe Morrissey’s opinion piece in the RTD of March 31 cries out for negative criticism. He does explain the good reasons why good people should never support gerrymandering. Indeed, he is correct, except he never mentions that President Trump’s push for gerrymandering in Texas and elsewhere is the reason why a “Yes" vote is now urgent in Virginia.

                        Letter: Cheating is cheating, no matter who is doing it

                        Letter: Cheating is cheating, no matter who is doing it

                        It is a rare thing when I agree with Joe Morrissey on anything (this may be a first). As an Independent voter for over 50 years, his extreme views and actions over those years have not resonated well with me. However, his op-ed in the RTD of March 31 is a keeper. The current Virginia “special” referendum to redraw congressional districts to favor Democrats 10-1 is patently un-Virginian and un-American, especially considering that Virginia voters passed a non-partisan referendum on re-drawing the districts just five years ago!
