Joint investigation underway after juvenile suffers burns at Rolfe Middle School
Several county agencies are conducting a joint investigation after a juvenile sustained non-life-threatening burns at John Rolfe Middle School in Varina Wednesday.
Henrico Fire and Police units responded to the school at about 12:30 p.m. after reports that the victim had been burned. Officials did not immediately indicate whether the victim was a student at the school.
Has Virginia done enough to end housing discrimination?
Amidst the frantic flurry of legislation that Democrats proposed upon taking control of all branches of Virginia’s state government in 2020, a surprising share of bills were dedicated to ending housing discrimination.
LGBTQ+ individuals, veterans and those paying their rent partly with housing choice vouchers or another form of government assistance were all enshrined in July of that year as “protected classes” — demographic groups which the Virginia Fair Housing Law explicitly bars landlords from discriminating against.
