Dr. Marshall Pattie is running for the seat in the North River District.
Four candidates for the Augusta County Board of Supervisors will host a townhall meeting on June 15, 2011, the first of a series of such meetings hosted by the candidates to be held at the Government Center in Verona at 7:00 p.m. Their message is refreshing and straightforward, as evidenced by this joint statement:
"We believe in an open, responsive government that is smart enough to understand that hearing from our bosses, the voters, more often than every 4 years makes us a better government.
We believe that economic development needs to be more professionally driven than politically and bureaucratically driven.
We believe that Fire and Rescue needs to be more professionally driven and less politically and bureaucratically driven.
We believe that the Board of Supervisors has stumbled and failed to secure and provide the fair funding historically due the Augusta School Board.
We believe that delaying relief from land values done during the best of times hurts us now in these worst of times.
We hope to show that when people work together, putting aside party and personal interests, consensus can be reached with the people being the beneficiaries rather than those making the decisions. We hope to demonstrate the individual knowledge and principles of each of us such that the public will have confidence both in our corporate vision and our individual resolve."
--David Karaffa, Dr. Kurt Michael, Dr. Marshall Pattie, Supervisor Tracy Pyles
