I just went to the new library yesterday for the first time and I was baffled by the “Fuel Efficient Vehicle Parking” signs reserving the spaces right in front of the door. There were about 3 or 4 6 of them (in addition to the 3 or 4 5 handicapped spaces). What’s up with that?

What is it with our Board of Supervisors? Are they insane???

It appears there has been a plan for a new high school at Pleasant Grove as early as 2003 (or before).
In 2004 a Joint Committee was formed and $50,000 […]

A few days ago I blogged about a Petition for Referendum circulating Fluvanna County about the School Board-proposed Domino Plan. I personally printed out this petition and took it with me to various places this weekend in order to obtain signatures.
The first place I took it was church. I was unable to request permission from […]
