Tuesday meeting update
The townhall meeting Tuesday night, February 3, was a huge success with 600 residents attending to learn from Supervisor Tracy Pyles and local attorney Francis Chester how to make their voices heard at the Government Center.
Much correspondence has been received from people who could not find parking so were unable to attend but wanted petitions to circulate and sign so we are getting petitions to them.
Phone calls and email messages
Thank you for contacting us. If you have called and left a message, we apologize if we haven't gotten back with you yet. We have been inundated with calls and emails and are working through the list.
Thank you, Augusta County!
One person wrote on Facebook that Augusta County residents were "packed like sardines" in the meeting Tuesday night and added, "But they were 600 of the nicest people I've ever met." We heard not one grumble or complaint as we scrambled to accommodate the large crowd. Thank you for your patience and understanding. And thank you for your kind words of encouragement.
Together, Augusta ... we can make a difference!
