Chase addressed a crowd at the event but said she departed “just in time” before a mob began to riot and force its way into the U.S. Capitol. Chase is one of more than a dozen state lawmakers from across the country who were in the nation's capital Wednesday, including newly elected West Virginia state Del. Derrick Evans, a Republican who is now facing charges after a video he live-streamed showed him entering

Republican lawmakers from at least eight other states — Michigan, Missouri, Tennessee, Pennsylvania, Nevada, Alaska, Arizona and Illinois — were present ahead of the riot or said they departed as the mob began to storm.

NOTICE TO THE PUBLIC OF PETITION FOR APPROVAL OF A RATE ADJUSTMENT CLAUSE, DESIGNATED RIDER RPS, BY VIRGINIA ELECTRIC AND POWER COMPANY D/B/A DOMINION ENERGY VIRGINIA CASE NO. PUR-2020-00170
•Virginia Electric and Power Company d/b/a Dominion Energy Virginia (“Dominion”) has applied for approval of a rate adjustment clause, designated Rider RPS, to recover costs related to compliance with the mandatory renewable energy portfolio standard program established in the Virginia Clean Economy Act. •Dominion requests approval of a revenue requirement of $13,230,000 for Rider RPS for the rate year beginning August 1, 2021, through July 31, 2022. According to Dominion, this amount would increase a typical residential customer’s bill using 1,000 kilowatt hours per month by approximately $0.18. •Due to the ongoing public health emergency related to the spread of the coronavirus, or COVID-19, a Hearing Examiner appointed by the State Corporation Commission will hold a telephonic hearing in this case on May 3, 2021, for the receipt of public witness testimony. •A Hearing Examiner appointed by the State Corporation Commission will hold an evidentiary hearing in this case on May 4, 2021. •Further information about this case is available on the SCC website at: scc.virginia.gov/pages/Case-Information. On November 9, 2020, Virginia Electric and Power Company (“Dominion” or “Company”) filed with the State Corporation Commission (“Commission”) a petition (“Petition”) for approval of a rate adjustment clause, designated Rider RPS, pursuant to § 56-585.1 A 5 d of the Code of Virginia (“Code”). Through its Petition, Dominion seeks to recover costs related to compliance with the mandatory renewable energy portfolio standard program (“RPS Program”) established in the Virginia Clean Economy Act (“VCEA”). Pursuant to Code § 56-585.5 C, Dominion is required to participate in an RPS Program that establishes annual goals for the sale of renewable energy to all retail customers in the Company’s service territory, with certain limited exceptions. To comply with the RPS Program, Dominion must procure and retire renewable energy certificates (‘’RECs’’) originating from qualifying sources. The RPS Program requirements ‘’shall be a percentage of the total electric energy sold in the previous calendar year’’ and must be implemented in accordance with the schedule set forth in Code § 56-585.5 C. Code § 56-585.5 C further provides that, to the extent Dominion procures RECs for RPS Program compliance from resources it does not own, the Company shall be entitled to recover the costs of such RECs pursuant to Code §§ 56-249.6 or 56-585.1 A 5 d. Code § 56-585.1 A 5 d provides that a utility may petition the Commission for approval of one or more rate adjustment clauses for the timely and current recovery from customers of: ‘’[p] rojected and actual costs of compliance with renewable energy portfolio standard requirements pursuant to § 56-585.5 that are not recoverable under subdivision 6. The Commission shall approve such a petition allowing the recovery of such costs incurred as required by § 56-585.5, provided that the Commission does not otherwise find such costs were unreasonably or imprudently incurred….’’ In its Petition, Dominion states that it will meet the annual requirements of the RPS Program through the retirement of RECs sourced from a combination of RECs generated from Company owned renewable energy facilities, RECs generated from renewable energy facilities owned by an entity other than the utility with which the Company has entered into a power purchase agreement (‘’PPA’’), long-term REC only contracts, and market purchases. The Company’s Petition details the process used to determine the total cost of RECs to be recovered through Rider RPS during the rate year of August 1, 2021, to July 31, 2022 (‘’Rate Year’’). According to the Company, once it determined the total costs of RECs to be recovered in this proceeding, it applied a Virginia jurisdictional allocation factor of 84.5973%. Finally, the Company states it applied a credit remaining from the Company’s participation in Virginia’s voluntary renewable energy portfolio standard program that was in place under former Code § 56-585.2. In this proceeding, the Company seeks approval of a total revenue requirement of $13,230,000 for the Rate Year. The Company asserts it proposes to use an energy allocation factor to allocate costs to the Virginia jurisdiction and the development of a uniform charge per kilowatt hour (“kWh”) applicable to all bundled service and retail choice customers, calculated to take into account the relevant provisions of the VCEA. If the proposed Rider RPS for the Rate Year is approved, the impact on customer bills would depend on the customer’s rate schedule and usage. According to Dominion, implementation of its proposed Rider RPS on August 1, 2021, would increase the bill of a residential customer using 1,000 kWh per month by approximately $0.18. Interested persons are encouraged to review the Petition and supporting documents for the details of these and other proposals. TAKE NOTICE that the Commission may apportion revenues among customer classes and/or design rates in a manner differing from that shown in the Petition and supporting documents and thus may adopt rates that differ from those appearing in the Company’s Petition and supporting documents.

Op/Ed & Letters To my remaining Republican friends I told you five years ago that Trump wanted to be a dictator. He said during the 2016 campaign he considered himself a strong leader. When asked who he thought strong leaders were he told you, Putin, Kim, Duterte. You poo pooed my concerns. When Xi was made president for life and Trump said, we should try that here, you said aw he was just joking. When he told Kim he wished people here would follow his directions the way the North Koreans, you again chalked it up to his sense of humor. He found “very good people” at a white supremacist rally in Charlottesville where they were marching by tiki torchlight shouting “Jews will not replace us”. You told me that I was misinterpreting what he said, and that I suffered from Trump Derangement Syndrome. Now after a free and fair election he has tried every means possible to overturn that election. He filed and lost 60 ridiculously frivolous law suits, thrown out by even the judges HE appointed. He has threatened election officials with jail if they don't “find” enough votes to overturn the election. He had his allies file frivolous objections to the electors’ votes being counted in Congress on the basis that his supporters believed the lies he, his sycophants, and Fox News et al.

were feeding them. He demanded that Mike Pence unilaterally overturn the election based on powers that the VP most obviously did not have. When it was clear that his legal and quasi legal attempts had failed he incited a mob to storm the Capitol to halt the counting of the votes in the election that he lost. His mobs are now harassing ANYONE who did not support his attempt to steal the election. By anyone, I mean ANYONE. NOBODY was more loyal to him over the last four years than Pence or Lindsey Graham. The mob he set loose on the Capitol was calling for Pence to be hanged. Recently Graham was surrounded by Trump supporters in the airport, howling that he was a traitor, and that he would be harassed for the rest of his life like this. All because he dared to acknowledge on the floor of the House that Trump had lost the election. Now, even after all of this, after fomenting an insurrection, Trumps loyalists were voted in again as chair and co-chair of the Republican National Committee. Rona Romney McDaniel ran unopposed for chairman and was reelected unanimously. So at this point it is crystal clear. The GOP has become the party of authoritarianism. If you still support Trump or the Republican Party, you support authoritarianism as well. Bruce Goodman The LEGACY welcomes all signed letters and all respectful opinions.

An open letter to the shameful participants in [Jan. 6, 2021]events: You are not a patriot of this nation as you commit acts in furtherance of a violent siege of the U.S. capitol building. You are a domestic terrorist enjoining in seditious and shameful criminal acts. You further and exploit tyrannical extremism and threaten the global safety of this great country. The founders of this nation condemned and formulated policies to protect against the reactionary measures that mobs, like the one created today, take while in the heat of passion. In the pursuit of your extremist unrest you have subjected the public servants of this nation to violence and harm. You have threatened the life and liberty of our law enforcement officers, public officials, and citizens. You have put these individuals in such fear that we have painfully watched videos of them screaming and uniting in prayer, hoping that God will protect them from your relentless and brutal attacks. Contrary to President Trump’s affirmation, you and your efforts are not special or heroic. You are not special as you hang from doorways and kick law enforcement in the face as they protect the capitol building, and architectural pillar of democracy. You are not special as you use and inflict the fruits of your frustration and fear to sequester the public officials of this nation so that they may not fulfill their congressional duties today. You work in opposition of justice, democracy, and sanity. You disgrace the sanctity of the greatest democracy known to this world. You undermine this nation’s global reputation and security. You are a shameful, seditious, and extremist domestic terrorist. Know that neither party, Republican nor Democrat, support the desecration of this county. You have been treated with greater kindness than you deserve. People who have vigorously fought for social reform, individual rights, and against racism have sadly been subjected to harsher conditions than you. While President Trump may claim to love you and your behavior today, the rest of this nation, who remains sane and mentally competent, do not. Megan Wilson-Bost, Gloucester Point

Time for true patriotism
[Jan. 6, 2021] was a fulfillment of the wishes of an infantile and unpatriotic president who can’t handle the truth of his own failures. And the wreckage lays at the feet of a party and media apparatus that gleefully cheered him on, knowing full well the possibility of consequences like these. It all left me with so many questions— questions about the future, questions about security, extremism, propaganda, and more. But there’s one question I just can’t shake: What if these rioters had looked like the folks who go to Ebenezer Baptist Church every Sunday?
What would have been different? I think we all know the answer. This summer’s Black Lives Matter protests were an overwhelmingly peaceful movement—our nation’s largest demonstrations ever, bringing together people of every race and class and encouraging millions to re-examine their own assumptions and behavior. And yet, in city after city, day after day, we saw peaceful protestors met with brute force. We saw cracked skulls and mass arrests, law enforcement pepper spraying its way through a peaceful demonstration for a presidential photo op.
And for those who call others unpatriotic for simply taking a knee in silent protest, for those who wonder why we need to be reminded that Black Lives Matter at all, yesterday made it painfully clear that certain Americans are, in fact, allowed to denigrate the flag and symbols of our nation. They’ve just got to look the right way. What do all those folks have to say now? Seeing the gulf between the responses to yesterday’s riot and this summer’s peaceful protests and the larger movement for racial justice is so painful. It hurts. And I cannot think about moving on or turning the page until
we reckon with the reality of what we saw yesterday. True progress will be possible only once we acknowledge that this disconnect exists and take steps to repair it. And that also means coming to grips with the reality that millions voted for a man so obviously willing to burn our democracy down for his own ego. I hurt for our country. And I wish I had all the solutions to make things better. I wish I had the confidence that people who know better will act like it for more than a news cycle or two. All I know is that now is a time for true patriotism. Michelle Obama

NOTICE TO THE PUBLIC OF AN APPLICATION FOR APPROVAL OF AN EXTENSION AND MODIFICATIONS TO SPECIAL RATES, TERMS AND CONDITIONS BY VIRGINIA ELECTRIC AND POWER COMPANY D/B/A DOMINION ENERGY VIRGINIA CASE NO. PUR-2020-00271 •Virginia Electric and Power Company d/b/a Dominion Energy Virginia (“Dominion”) seeks approval to extend the special rate and contract for electric service entered into on October 20, 2020, by and between Dominion and Amazon Data Services, Inc. •Due to the ongoing public health emergency related to the spread of the coronavirus, or COVID-19, a Hearing Examiner appointed by the State Corporation Commission will hold a telephonic hearing in this case on June 29, 2021, at 10 a.m., for the receipt of public witness testimony. •A Hearing Examiner appointed by the State Corporation Commission will hold an evidentiary hearing in this case on June 30, 2021, at 10 a.m. •Further information about this case is available on the SCC website at: scc.virginia.gov/pages/Case-Information. On November 20, 2020, Virginia Electric and Power Company (“Dominion” or “Company”), pursuant to § 56-235.2 of the Code of Virginia (“Code”), filed with the State Corporation Commission (“Commission”) an application (“Application”) for approval of the special rate and contract for electric service entered into on October 20, 2020, by and between Amazon Data Services, Inc. (“ADS”), and Dominion (“Revised Special Rate Contract”). The Revised Special Rate Contract replaces and extends the current special rate contract (“Current Special Rate Contract”) that was approved by the Commission in Case No. PUE-2015-00103. The Current Special Rate Contract expires on December 31, 2020. Dominion therefore also seeks authority to continue serving and billing ADS under the Current Special Rate Contract and attendant tariff until the Commission issues a decision on the Revised Special Rate Contract. ADS is a high load factor, Virginia jurisdictional customer of Dominion that owns and operates several cloud computing data centers in Virginia. ADS is a subsidiary of Amazon. com, Inc. (“Amazon”), and an affiliate of Amazon Web Services. In its Application, Dominion states that ADS, Amazon, and Amazon Web Services have made long-term corporate commitments to achieve 100% renewable energy usage for their global infrastructure footprint. As set forth in the Application, the Revised Special Rate Contract is comprised of: (i) a base contract proposed for a term extending through December 31, 2025, and continuing thereafter by automatic one-year renewals, unless otherwise terminated with notice; and (ii) a single market based rate schedule (“SCR Rate Schedule”) for the Company’s provision of electric service to some or all of ADS’s qualifying current and future accounts. According to Dominion, the inclusion of the new market-based rate, which contains higher variable and lower fixed charges than are currently in Rate Schedules GS-3 and GS-4 and follows the Company’s New MBR Rate Schedule approved by the Commission in Case No. PUR-2018-00192, is a key component in the SCR Rate Schedule. The marketbased rate detailed in the SCR Rate Schedule is designed to be representative of the Company’s PJM Interconnection, L.L.C. (‘’PJM’’) wholesale market costs to serve ADS, plus an administrative margin. According to the Company, this optional market-based retail rate would create a more direct financial correlation between ADS’s wholesale transactions in the PJM market and its retail load billing, which would allow ADS to continue to invest in renewable energy and work towards its renewable energy goals. The Company asserts that, to qualify for service under the SCR Rate Schedule, ADS’s accounts must: (i) receive electricity supply service and electric delivery service from Dominion at their service locations; (ii) have peak demand of 5 megawatts or more; and (iii) meet the additional criteria set forth in the Revised Special Rate Contract. Dominion states that the proposed Revised Special Rate Contract and SCR Rate Schedule reflect the implementation of certain non-bypassable charges established in Virginia law. The Company further states that the Revised Special Rate Contract would protect the public interest, would not unreasonably prejudice or disadvantage any customer or class of customers, and would not jeopardize the continuation of reliable utility service. According to the Company, the SCR Rate Schedule would likely result in altered levels of base rate revenue as compared to the Company’s traditional rate schedules, though the amount of such revenue differences would depend on the amount of load that actually migrates from Rate Schedules GS-3 and GS-4 to the Revised SCR Rate Schedule and, ultimately, on fuel and market prices. Dominion also asserts that other than the administrative costs of preparing for this proceeding and negotiating the Revised Special Rate Contract, it does not expect to incur direct costs specifically related to the Revised Special Rate Contract. Interested persons are encouraged to review the Application and supporting documents for the details of these and other proposals. TAKE NOTICE that the Commission may design rates in a manner differing from that shown in the Application and supporting documents. The Commission entered an Order for Notice and Hearing in this proceeding that, among other things, scheduled public hearings on Dominion’s Application and granted the Company’s request to continue serving and billing ADS under the Current Special Rate Contract and attendant tariff on an interim basis. On June 29, 2021, at 10 a.m., the Commission will hold a telephonic hearing, with no witness present in the Commission’s courtroom, for the purpose of receiving the testimony of public witnesses.

This shouldn’t be how we say hello...or goodbye.
It’s our reality right now. But it won’t be if we do what it takes to beat COVID-19. Vaccines are coming, but until enough of us are vaccinated, we all still need to wear our masks, stay at least six feet from others, and avoid indoor social gatherings. The more we slow the spread, the faster we’ll return to normal hellos … and fewer goodbyes. Learn more about vaccines and slowing the spread at cdc.gov/coronavirus
