Nov 3 will Determines Page County’s Future

On Nov. 3rd, voters from Page County will head to the polls with not only who they are going to vote for the state elections, but also help determine the fate of Page County. Surprisingly, the scandal of the sheriffs office has shifted to a knew scandal, the part the EDA has played in that may be having the taxpayers to dig a little deeper for a project that was discussed behind closed doors and not given a chance to be discussed publicly. The EDA has be adamantly trying to sell the deal to the public after the story had broke on what took place and before the elections. All six candidates that are vying for the three vacant seats on the BoS are not against bringing in business to Page County. The lone candidate, Carol Lee Strickler is for Project Clover as it stands, the remaining five candidates are against how the deal was done and could possibly set into motion after taking office to strike another deal or possibly annul the existing one and then look someplace else to put in a business park.

District 5 seems to have the deciding vote it seems to how Project Clover will be dealt with when the new BoS takes over in Jan. District 1 puts a young non experienced candidate against a transplant that does have experience in local government and has been involved with this locality since moving here.

The sheriff’s race is between two well liked candidates in the county and have seemed to emerge the cloud that had hung over the dept.

Who are the Feds REALLY After

Friday August 29th, 2009 is a big day for those that oppose Danny Presgraves as being sheriff. The oppostion could not voted him out so the conspirators had done the next thing. They went to the federal government. What came next was a raid, then an arrest with a 22 indictment charge, to a resignation, to today, a plea agreement to a racketeering charge with the other 21 indictments dropped. The plea agreement can be found here: http://www.nvdaily.com/news/pdfs/agreement.pdf

After reading the indictment statement, who are the feds really after?

Stolen Petitions

It really takes a lowlife to steal petitions. Hopefully there is a statue for that and you go to jail. Those names on the petitions are not for your personal use.

Page County VA Filed for Broadband Grant

The Page County Broadband Authority had just completed and files a $2.06 million grant for a middle-mile, fiber optic network to span Page County from Rileyville to Shenandoah. This project is the first of two sanctioned by the Broadband Authority to build a fiber backhaul network in order to facilitate a last-mail solution for all residents of the county.

Condolences

I would like to say I am sorry for those families that lost their loved ones this passed week. It seems like there is no end to these tragedies.
