Court Refuses To Halt I-66 Construction In Virginia
A federal appeals court denied an injunction to halt grading on the 9.6 mile I-66 project in northern Virginia. The 4th U. S. Circuit upheld a lower court ruling, allowing the four lane highway to proceed while appeals continue. The D. C. Coalition argued environmental data and alternatives were mishandled and cited political deals, but the court found no likelihood of success or irreparable harm. An expedited merits hearing is set for October.

Letter Termed Pressure Tactic in Virginia Campaign
AP report from Richmond says a spokesman for Republican gubernatorial candidate John Dalton called a letter from Democratic nominee Henry Howell an effort to pressure Virginia radio and TV stations for full coverage. Howell’s headquarters denied the accusation, saying the letter asked for equal and fullest coverage without any pressure or implied coercion. WANV in Waynesboro and other broadcasters complained the letter could threaten licenses if coverage did not align with Howell’s view. The letter was sent to all state radio and TV outlets and urged participation in the election.

Virginia lawmakers say a health aid formula forces poorer localities to pay more of their health costs than wealthier areas. Senator Mitchell notes Falls Church pays 32 percent despite high income, while Carroll County pays 45 percent with far lower income. Further examples prompt calls to base aid on need rather than property values and to reevaluate the system.
