Why This Vote Matters
Richmond will continue paying $100,000 annually for a dedicated prosecutor who works exclusively on local cases through June 2022. The arrangement gives the city a deputy district attorney who partners directly with Richmond police on crimes and community issues, rather than splitting time across the entire county. The council approved the contract renewal with broad support, with only Councilmember Bates voting against it. This continues an existing program that keeps a prosecutor focused solely on Richmond's needs.
