Next Meeting Thursday Night

The next meeting of YOUR Board of Supervisors is scheduled for THURSDAY night at 7:30PM. Please make plans to attend as you might have read in the most recent Sussex Surry Dispatch there has been a bit of movement in the right direction. What is the right direction ???? any direction that moves the county forward is the right direction. YOU can take pride in making this happen, if it were not for you the citizens of Sussex County getting involved and voicing your displeasure to the continued deadlock and inability to do just about anything we would still be trying to hire a County attorney that had no alliance to any one board member or one that had a clean slate in the eye of the State Bar.
PLEASE be part of the movement that holds all Board of Supervisors accountable for their actions and lack of their actions and let them know they can NO LONGER operate under the cloke of darkness they once did.
I have let 2 issues of the Sussex Surry Dispatch go without submitting any letters to the editor as others of you have picked up the batton of accountability and I truly feel our movement is helping the county mover in the "RIGHT DIRECTION". I will  after the meeting Thursday night not only be posting my thoughts from the meeting along with the usual pictures and video clips but also submitting a letter to the editor because we ALL must keep up the pressure on OUR Board to be the representative we deserve.
SEE YOU AT THE MEETING THURSDAY NIGHT AT 7:30PM and for those who can not make it lets visit on my blog soon thereafter.

A 1-2 Punch is Delivered

Local residents along Coppahaunk Avenue in the Town of Waverly get some support in their fight to clean up the neighborhood and ask folks to “Just Be A Good Neighbor.” The 1-2 punch a right cross from the Sussex Surry Dispatch and blow to the mid section by WTVR TV CH 6. Adrienne Wallace, Editor of the Sussex Surry Dispatch ran an “above the fold-Front Page” story and Wayne Covil, Reporter with WTVR visited town, talked with neighbors and ran a story on the 6 PM news last night. A photo of the SSD front page and a link to the CH 6 story are below.

Although the Town of Waverly said it sent 6 or 7 letters over the last few years the question still needs to be asked…. WHY DID IT TAKE a newspaper story, a TV News story, several trips to town and county meetings and a petition to get some action. AND the jury is still out on that “action”, in the TV news story reporter Covil said he talked with Rufus Tyler who said he has personally been doing the interior renovation and when that is done he will begin on the outside. Well let’s hope his skills are with interior decorating but from the looks it’s the same ol story of lots of talk and promises and little or no real action.

Lets hope that with the newly elected leadership in the town of Waverly they can set aside personal agendas and get to work making the Town of Waverly "A Nice Place to Live". And one last question ...... Why can't neighbors just do the right thing? Take pride in what ever you do and own!

A GREAT BIG THANKS TO BOTH THE SUSSEX SURRY
