Nov 30, 2011 Letters Former candidate for treasurer offers thanks to community for support; Veterans Day program once again a success Apr 14, 2011 Business offered support to Domestic Violence program Powhatan County Domestic Violence Services and the Department of Social Services would like to thank the Rotary Club of Powhatan for organizing and collecting donations for the Domestic Violence program. Apr 14, 2011 Thank you to man who showed true kindness I would like to share a wonderful experience I had on Saturday, March 20, at the Dollar General in Flat Rock. I was in the check out line and a young man behind me only had a couple of items and I had a cart full, so I told him to go ahead and get in front of me. Mar 30, 2011 County’s slip indicative of work habits Appropriations for FY 2011 (the County’s current fiscal year) were never approved last spring by a formal board vote recorded in the minutes of the board. That is the only way that board action becomes official. Mar 30, 2011 County continues to refuse cost-cutting help from resident In spite of the poor economy, Powhatan County is drowning in money. The Powhatan Board of Supervisors should immediately move to reduce all county taxes in addition to giving all Powhatan tax payers a substantial refund for taxes paid in the past. Mar 30, 2011 Loss of school employees will hurt students’ progress Losing Ms. Engel would really be a devastating blow to the many children, including my son, who have become attached to her because they know she cares about each and every one of them and they trust her. Mar 30, 2011 Public comment period a necessary part of meetings As members of the Board of Supervisors, we elected you to work for us, and you have the responsibility to listen to the problems that each of us face from time to time in order to come up with some common sense solutions. Mar 16, 2011 Waiting to hit bottom? One-time money is money that is not expected to recur in the future. If $1.5 million is used to cover recurring expenses, then the FY13 budget begins with a funding gap of $1.5 million. This funding chasm is exacerbated by the State funding the schools with $575,000 in one-time money. So, the FY13 budget deficit could start at $2 million. |
