The community is reeling ... hundreds of jobs lost in the Central Shenandoah Valley.<BR/><BR/>Watch tomorrow's newspapers for a story about Attorney Francis Chester of Churchville who had a property, from what I understand, reassesed at a 255% increase. He is planning to take action.<BR/><BR/>If people care, they need to become involved, attend the meetings, and let their voices be heard.Lynn R.

I've been a Republican for life, but this behavior is unacceptable and I can't believe I'm here supporting Tracy Pyles, a Democrat, but right is right - no matter what side of the aisle it comes from. I just hope people don't forget this by the next election - I know I won't and I won't let people around me forget.<BR/><BR/>On another note, I found out yesterday that I'll be part of the layoff from one of the companies that you mentioned a few posts ago. By the end of next week I won't have a job anymore and half of the people that I know have been laid off. All this and they are trying to tell me that my property is worth 52.5% more then it was in 2005 when everything was fine. From what people are telling me, they aren't doing adjustments to the assessments, so it looks like this is losing fight for the time being. We'll just have to wait till the election and then kick them out. If that means putting a Democrat in their place, so be it, at least I'll know what to expect from them, unlike the Republicans from this area that scream about taxes during the election and then screw us over when tax time comes.Richardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12693816955650508287noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22304160.post-2041951864937058282009-01-27T15:39:00.000-05:002009-01-27T15:39:00.000-05:00I remember that Doc Thompson on WRVA suggested tha...I remember that Doc Thompson on WRVA suggested that the entire homeowning population of Chesterfield request a re-assessment since their 2008 bills were on 2006 assessments. Their home values had dropped...but their taxes went up.Cargosquidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15109858929179841075noreply@blogger.com
