At @cvilleweekly.bsky.social, we've got an update to our Sept. 16 story about the Greene County Sheriff's Office's failure to report dozens of traffic stops from its June 23 ICE raids, as the law requires. That data's up now. 1 in 4 drivers Greene stopped in June were Latino.

Bryant is now calling on community members to reach out to councilors Oschrin, Fleisher, and Snook and show up to council meetings.

C-VILLE Weekly @cvilleweekly.bsky.social · 24/09/2026

Wade has (tentatively) agreed to supporting a zoning amendment giving communities more input. A member of development team just allegedly told Bryant "thank you madam chair woman" (paraphrase) as she gave next steps for community members

C-VILLE Weekly @cvilleweekly.bsky.social · 24/09/2026

Wade is now at the mic, after being asked to speak: it's expensive to live here. His approach is supply and demand. "I believe we need more housing." And points to city's $10 million annual investment in affordable housing. Zyahna Bryant: The question was would you support the zoning amendment

C-VILLE Weekly @cvilleweekly.bsky.social · 24/09/2026

Payne is calling for a zoning text amendment process to expand the amount of areas that require special approval for projects. "The most important number for city council is three." Said that council has been asked for a year to amend code, but has failed to do so. Called on people to show up.

C-VILLE Weekly @cvilleweekly.bsky.social · 24/09/2026

After calls for Chris Henry to speak, he said "We came tonight to listen to the community" and (paraphrasing) SPDG hopes to incorporate feedback. Michael Payne is now speaking about the weaknesses of the zoning code, namely its lack of protections for historically Black communities...
