The Carver Recreation Center was and always has been a venue for the black community of Charlottesville to rent for private dances, social affairs, parties, wedding receptions, etc. These events could start as early as 4:00 PM or as late as 10:00 PM. Carver is housed in the historic Jefferson School, which at one time as the only all Black school in Charlottesville. It has been renovated, a small part preserved, but many new things have been added. i.e., Clinic, daycare, roller skating, new gym, etc. In doing this the hours were changed, they are 6:00-12:00 midnight. We would like to see the hours put back to what they have always been, enable to continue to accomodate a community that has lost so much, and never to be able to regain it.

Father's are increasingly being push out of children's live by mothers, with the help of family courts. The popular belief among most judges in the us family court system is that children are better off with mothers. Leaving most fathers to be treated like ATM machines. I am among the "dead beat father population" not by choice, but because I simply can not afford the amounts that my child support is set at. If you are serious about what you spoke of, when it comes to fathers in the USA, then you need to take a look at how fathers are being treated in the family cout system.

We have a right to know what is in our food, what seeds it is grown from, and when it is GMO in order to be responsible for our own health. Corporations should NOT have the right to use the media to scare unaware consumers.

My son and daughter-in-law have $140,000 in student loans. He is working at Home Depot part time. It's the only job he can find. Get this, they are hiring 55 new people for the store he works in. No one is allowed to work more than 24 hours so Home Depot doesn't have to offer benefits. The student loan debt is killing them.

The PUC has no authority over Electric Co-op's, so customers have no recourse.Under the current law; customers within a co-op's service area cannot change companies.Demand meters are a rip-off for the companies. We were forced to close our business.

Altough I don't have a strong connection to this topic, I feel very strongly about it. Too many innocent people are being killed. If we strengthen our gun control laws, the death rate from murders with guns will dramatically decrease.

I was injured on Salt River Indian Reservation and immediately became aware of the very limited rights U S citizens have regarding protection on all Indian Reservations as they are protected by Native American Sovereignty, which really means they are a foreign country. Please write your elected officials and ask them to take action to enact laws to protect you while you are visiting Indian Reservations where you are not even always guaranteed payouts for jackpots.
