I got a news flash for you people, Its cheaper to live in midlothian.
Wonder how many of these comments are from midlothian turned powhatan residents anyways? Somebody needs to reopen mays now that I think about it…Maybe thats why former residents of powhatan now live in amelia and cumberland….shoot I moved when I heard the word WALMART….The further away the better…...the county tried to stop it….but yall midlothian people got to have it all…

Im hungry

So here is my question you all of you, when should PT do Neals story? Last year at 29 years of service or next year at 31 years of service or let’s say he doesn’t make it in, so then the head read’s “Now we can post this so we don’t piss off Powhatan County Citizens, Neal served 30 years last year.” Who cares, the media is a big “campaign” stunt in today’s time. Little town to white house. However, if it is 30 years of service, run the post, because anyone who deals with Powhatan for any amount of time is worth the print in my book… So congrats Neal… I hope you have enjoyed your time served, and if you really want to serve more, go for it, and honestly I’m sorry that instead of congratulations you gets to read additional grips from this article… But, hey, at least one person noticed!

qualified or unqualified - still should get the same “face” time as Neal - hate for Neal win by default and lack of information.  leave to to PT to provide nothing as they always been blind supporters of this old boys club “police” department.

Powhatan might benefit if Sheriff Neal were to have some good opposition—if for no other reason, to keep him on his toes, even if he wins—but his opponent is so unqualified that it is difficult to take her seriously.

The person running against him was given an interview in the paper along with Mr. Neal. She doesn’t think knowledge of criminal justice and law enforcement is necessary, as long as she knows paperwork. It seems to me she also wants Powhatan to send her to police academy while in office. When she lost her job she was looking for something else to do, and thought being a sheriff was a good idea. I don’t know what else the PT could say. Maybe you are right, they should try.

It’s not poor-timing - it’s exactly what you think it is.  Doubt PT will offer much about the person running against him.  Would be very, very surprised.

It seems a little unfair to run a glowing story about Mr. Neal in the midst of election season.  Unless that is equal space will be dedicated to his opponent.  Not to belittle Mr. Neal’s accomplishments or career, it just appears to be poor-timing I suppose.

Out with the old, in with the new.  It is time for the “old boys club” attitude in Powhatan to be over and done with.  I can appreciate looking out for your own (to a degree) but NOT when it’s putting others (especially children) in harm’s way.  It’s because of this old school way of thinking that it continues.  It’s time for a change, a real change.

Congratulations.  I love nonsense like this.  It’s so Powhatan.  Greg, back in the day, didn’t a group of citizens approach you and Lynn Woodcock asking your department to slow down and drive more considerately?  Yes,they did.  I was one of them.  Lynn caught a call as he was talking to us and sped off the parking lot we were at.  Gravel flying.  Robbie was killed 3 weeks later.  And didn’t basically the same group of people approach you two again and ask you to do something with then sheriff Randy Reynolds and his psychotic behavior?  Randy shot the Groves boy by accident like couple months later.  You didn’t mention any of this.  Basically I’ve always marveled at your department’s sinister issues.  The search of the Johnson home comes to mind.  Oh.  When I first came to Powhatan 12 years ago I was shown around.  Ended up at the Moose Lodge.  Some one was very drunk in there and people were showing concern about this person driving.  Same angry and drunk person left the club and got in a vehicle and sped off with a crowd in tow.  Wonder who that was?
