Why This Vote Matters
Richmond approved a contract with Catalog Choice to help residents stop unwanted junk mail, catalogs, and phone books from being delivered to their homes. The service will be available to residents for one year at no specified cost to the city. The council passed the measure with solid support in a 4-1 vote, with Councilmember Boozé opposing and Councilmember Bates abstaining. This gives residents a new tool to reduce the volume of unsolicited mail they receive.
