Carroll will look at gym's...

HILLSVILLE — Rather than seeking federal money for a high school auxiliary gym immediately, Carroll supervisors limited their next move to studying what the financial impact of another loan would be on the county.
Supervisor Bob Martin apologized at the regular March board meeting Monday for springing a motion in connection with funding for a new Carroll County High School auxiliary gym on the other elected officials during supervisor’s time.
Martin has several times championed the auxiliary gym.

Doing what he can

County could be carved up

Name calling won’t get us anywhere near solving the zoning hassle in Grayson. All it does is make people mad and logic goes out the window.
Meanwhile, three of our supervisors are part of an orchestrated effort to throw Grayson County open to “developers” intent on cutting this lovely land into pieces for their own purposes, regardless of environmental impact.
They trade on local resentment caused by operators who raped the land and robbed the people and moved local jobs overseas.

No room for unexpected expenses...

HILLSVILLE — The Carroll County schools budget is so tight for the next year that if electricity rates go up, or anything else unexpected happens, the district may not have enough money to cover it, according to Schools Superintendent Strader Blankenship.
Educators will ask for level funding from the Carroll supervisors, the superintendent said Tuesday at the first presentation of the proposed fiscal year 2014-2015 budget to the full school board.

Segregation?
As our country leaves normal to a more abnormal society, will gays have their own restroom? Face it, no one wants a person sexually attracted to them while they are in the restroom.

Shutting down
About the Kroger store closing: everybody knows when a Walmart store comes to town, it shuts down all the other little grocery stores.
Editor’s note: That’s true, but Kroger is hardly “little.” It’s one of the largest retail chains in the world, with billions in annual sales.

General Assembly lifts Sunday...

Capital News Service

RICHMOND – Virginians will have the right to hunt on Sunday beginning July 1, according to a bill signed into law last week by Gov. Terry McAuliffe.
House Bill 1237, introduced by Del. Todd Gilbert (R-Woodstock), gives private landowners and their family members lawful authority to hunt and kill wild birds and nuisance species on their property, provided the land is not within 200 yards of a “place of worship.”

Legislators depart capitol...

RICHMOND — Mental health reform? Check.
Ethics reform? Check.
State budget to fund core government services? Nope.
Hopelessly divided over Medicaid expansion, General Assembly partisans departed the Capitol on Saturday afternoon at the close of this winter’s 60-day session without agreement on the next two-year budget.

Fire wasn't start of '...

My daughter recorded a radio broadcast that aired before the January meeting of the Grayson County Board of Supervisors meeting and signed off as “paid for by Concerned Citizens of Grayson County.”
The pro-zoning side now uses this name to watch and investigate the supervisors. The true concerned citizens are the ones that are worried about not having freedom to do things on their land.
