Gang-Busting in Pittsylvania County

Citizens Need to Demand the Breakup of the Infamous "Gang of Four"
Gang-busting in any community is a primary concern of the affected citizens of said community. Gangs only serve themselves at the expense of the community at large. No one benefits from the operation of a gang other than the GANG itself.
In most communities, the responsibility for busting up the local gangs falls upon the local law enforcement authorities. However, in Pittsylvania county, this responsibility to "bust up" the GANG OF FOUR" rests upon the voters in our county.
Here, we have a situation not much unlike communist Russia, and also the socialist president of Venezuela, where the incumbent leaders want to extend their rule of the land beyond the legal or customary term of office. It has been customary in Pittsylvania county to rotate the Chairmanship of the Board of supervisors on an annual basis. The rationale behind this is that no one person could dominate the political powers that come with such a high office.
However, with the rise and domination of the GANG OF FOUR of our county's political landscape, this previously-wise practice has been tossed aside by the GANG OF FOUR! Just this month, the GANG re-elected Coy Harville to a SECOND STRAIGHT term as Chairman of the Board of Supervisors.
County citizens deserve better from their Board of Supervisors!! We don't need a continuation of the policy of financial discrimination against various districts of the county because their elected representative is NOT a member of the GANG OF FOUR!
We, as the voters of the county as a whole, need to BUST this GANG! It only serves the interests of the GANG and not the county as a whole.
Call your Supervisor and let them know that YOU are a GANG-BUSTER and you want a LIMIT on the term of the Board Chairman!
NO CONSECUTIVE TERMS FOR BOARD CHAIRMAN!!

And this rant pertains to the uranium issue, how exactly? Perhaps this belongs on your own blog, Chatham Views, Mr. Chaney.

I agree with Mr. Chaney and it does pertain to the uranium issue.

Coy Harville has already taken it upon himself to go to the General Assembly to speak on behalf of the county regarding the Uranium Issue. Did we pay for that trip? Did we get to voice our opinion before he left?

Mr. Harville has also cautioned our supervisors to refrain from going public on this issue and to say they are neutral from what I have been told. County supervisors are elected to be fair to all the citizens of the county.

Sometimes it makes me think we are back in the civil war, North vs. South! County issues affect us all!

Thank you, Anonymous, for your support and understanding of the relationship between the two issues. And, thank you, Lysi, for your kind, critical feedback1

I was at the Jan 6 Uranium Meeting.

Guess who Harville was sitting with, the Coles gang!

So he is Pro-Uranium.
