Politics, as distasteful and unsavory as they may seem sometimes, matter in our lives. (Darn it)

Virginia is lucky and privileged to have access to some fantastic resources for investigating local and state-wide politics and politicians.

Yesterday, the Virginia Public Access Project just got even better. Just look at what you can find out about Albemarle politics (read: money).

Combine VPAP’s work with Richmond Sunlight for insight into the Virginia General Assembly and Charlottesville Tomorrow for growth and politics information focused on Charlottesville and Albemarle and you have much of what you need to be an informed, involved and responsible citizen.

Why learn about politics? Because the decisions they make often directly impact housing values and our quality of life.
