Acknowledging mistakes takes maturity and humility, but it can teach valuable lessons to the people and news organizations who have the strength and professionalism to do so.
BizSense reviving Guest Opinions
April 9, 2021
After 12 years of focusing strictly on the news, Richmond BizSense wants to give our growing local business audience a different way to share what’s on its mind.
Next week we’ll begin regularly publishing full-length, community-submitted opinion pieces, with a goal of fostering a new sort of conversation fueled by the perspectives of leaders of the Richmond business community.
This isn’t completely new territory for us. A long time ago, when BizSense was in its infancy, we published Guest Opinions on a weekly basis. It was something that was well-received at the time, but we did away with it to focus on growing our news staff.

I just read “Democrats’ proposed pandemic tax hikes show what’s wrong with Connecticut,” (Jan. 29), by Sen. Heather Somers in the Op-Ed/Guest Opinions section of The Day. As a disabled veteran draftee, I would not dream of owning property, such as a house, in Connecticut. It is too unaffordable. Connecticut government is predatory and hostile. I have moved away several times. Now I am getting too old to move. This Democrat, one-party leadership is truly tyrannical. Senator Somers provides a highly accurate assessment of Senate President Martin Looney’s, D-New Haven, barbaric, cannibalistic state government. All I have to look forward to is my death. Maybe I will see Senator Looney, and the likes of him, in hell? We will see how much power and authority he has then!
