Board of Supervisors Meeting – August 6th – Public Comments
Two of the most familiar county government critics, Paul Gabbert and James Harper, continued to single out County Administrator Doug Stanley for criticism. Gabbert asked the board not to renew or make changes to Stanley’s contract, but let the board in place after the November election make those choices. Murray and Linda Glavis have both announced their retirement and the third supervisor up for election this year, Shenandoah District’s Tom Sayre is facing opposition from Walter Mabe, who has aligned himself with the county government reform movement.
During the second public comment portion of the meeting Harper spoke against the Crooked Run 2 residential development project “that Mr. Stanley seems to be pushing”. He suggested the County allow planned development “off of Happy Creek Road” close to a number of public schools to proceed before rezoning commercial land in the county to facilitate residential development.
