Things around town

I haven't been in town much lately due to my work, but I was in the CVS recently and got an earful while standing in line. I actually heard a council member defending Mr. Hailey and urging the person they were talking to to vote for him in the next election. I wanted to ask the person if they were crazy or just on drugs, because no one with common sense would endorse a person convicted of assault.

Since I'm not from here, and I don't know all the traditions or social rules I'm just bluntly going to ask: Just what does a person have to do to booted from the council?
Wife beating doesn't seem to qualify a person for removal. Would baby sacrifices or being a online porn star? What exactly is the limit a person has to go before they can no longer represent our town?

Council meeting

What happened? Anything exciting?

Campbell County

Looks like quite a few of our readers think Mr. Hailey needs to resign. I think he needs to seriously look at what he has done and consider the public perception of having a spousal abuser on the council.

I also think there is a veritable shit storm about to hit Campbell County. The sludging is about to start out near Swinging Bridge road and anyone living in town will be drinking water that has sludge residue in it by the end of the year. Campbell County could have been proactive, like Halifax was, and stopped this problem before it started, but instead they chose to lie to the residents and ignore the problem.

What will Brookneal do to prevent our main source of drinking water from becoming a cess pool?
My guess is a big: NOTHING. I think this needs to be an election issue. I think all of the candidates need to step up and say whether they will do anything to protect the water supply. if they hem and haw and pretend it won't be effected then they need to go.

Has anyone found out anything about Mr. Shepperd yet?
