I believe Ken Cuccinelli presents the best plan to make Virginia stronger and a more competitive place to work and do business.
Ken’s plan to improve the economy and create jobs involves common sense approaches that are of extreme importance to getting Virginia back to the place we need to be.
One of the most important changes Ken plans to do is to lower corporate income tax from 6 percent to 4 percent. This is a small change that will have a huge impact on Virginia business.

Early in November, Virginia will elect a new governor.
There are two questions that the voters must ask about the candidates. First, is he a man of integrity? Second, does he have viable solutions to important problems?
These are the criteria we must use to examine political candidates. So how is the Republican candidate, Ken Cuccinelli, doing in these areas?

It was almost a year ago that Supervisor Bob Martin proposed a State Police investigation to determine whether there had been a conflict of interest in Carroll County Administrator Gary Larrowe’s land dealings near what is now Wildwood.
Three newly-elected supervisors voted for the investigation, three holdovers from the old board voted against, and the proposal died.
Now comes an announcement that Mr. Larrowe asked for an opinion, rendered by Dickenson Commonwealth attorney Joshua Newberry, who determined that there had been no conflict.

I would like to extend my thanks and appreciation to several people, groups, and organizations for all the services they provided to the Hillsville Police Department during the 2013 VFW Labor Day Gun Show and Flea Market:
VFW Grover King Post 1115 for help with preparation and planning.
The Hundley family, Lacy Bowman and family, and Glenn Jackson and family.
Mayor Greg Crowder, Town Manager Travis Jackson, and Engineer Steve Bowman who were personally out in the trenches making sure everyone was in compliance with all ordinances and procedures.
