Where does this all begin and end?

Does it begin with land being sold and developers bringing in their bushel baskets for money, then leaving this county? Does it begin with the county wanting affluency? Does it begin with individuals not
having to live “the American Dream” but wanting what can be obtained right now?

Does this have to end with those who lived within their means picking up the expense of what government and individuals want, when they want it, no matter who has to pay for it?

It begins when we have developers and land-owners sitting on the PWC planning committee, writing our long-term comprehensive plans that will take us into the year 2030.  It continues when the BOCS allows this to happen.

Mrs. Collins,

The reason for the overcrowding at Brentsville High School is a direct result of our BOCS pandering to the developers.  Now that same Supervisor is going to make himself look like a hero by spending his discretionary funds for the high school.

Supervisor Nohe, panders to the PW Chamber of Commerce members by making sure their concerns are placed over the concerns of the residents of the Coles District and the rest of our county.  He is famous for talking out of both sides of his mouth on the issue of businesses and their impact on communities.
