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”.
