The Transition Team discusses the recent contentious Gubernatorial debate and evaluates the policy differences between Terry McAuliffe and Glenn Youngkin. Then they check a voicemail about prison gerrymandering from Buckingham County Supervisor Thomas Miles. Miles wants to know why it's more fair for people in prison to be counted in their home localities than the localities in which they reside.

Later Michael and Thomas interview Dwayne Yancey who will launch Cardinal News Sept. 27, a new online news service covering complex regional issues affecting Southwest and Southside Virginia. Cardinal News will launch as the first news organization west of I-81 with a bureau in Richmond Virginia. Yancey discusses his experience innovating local news during his long career with the Roanoke Times. What economic challenges does regional news face? Which issues will they cover that doesn't get covered today? All this and more on this episode of Transition Virginia.
