Why This Vote Matters
The council voted in a divided 4-3 decision to end debate on a report from Holland & Knight, the law firm that lobbies for Richmond at the state and federal level. Councilmembers Bates, Boozé, and Rogers wanted to continue discussing the firm's annual presentation about their lobbying work and accomplishments on behalf of the city. The motion to cut off discussion passed with support from Beckles, Butt, McLaughlin, and Myrick. This was a procedural vote about whether to keep talking, not about the lobbying contract itself, which requires no city money since the firm is paid through their existing agreement.
