Letters to the Editor

Dear Editor, I wonder what would Virginians of 250 years ago think of a constitutional change passed by only 53% of the 1,3-1.4 million voters which is only 25-27% of the eligible of voters — one that effectively sidelines two blocks of voters, Republicans and Independents?

LAWSUIT BY ST. MARGARET’S FOUNDATION DISMISSED

Montross may have another recurring event coming to add to the roster courtesy of Larry Hinson—better known as DJ Master Blaster—and Northern Neck Brewing, which held a fundraiser for St. Jude’s Children’s Hospital last Saturday evening.

Dear Editor

Dear Editor, I read with great interest the article in the March 25, 2026 edition of the Westmoreland News about the resigning of the County Administrator, Jim Taylor. His resignation appears to be related to some missed loan payments and the article clearly states the problem started when the USDA made changes to their banking system. The article continues by saying that Supervisor Trivett spoke on the matter with the Colonial Beach Town Council and that the accrued interest was in the neighborhood of $110,000. Speaking of a past Administrator, Supervisor Fisher was quoted as saying “I had the pleasure of working with Norm Risavi, one of the best financial minds I know”.
