An astute person once said you can’t keep doing the same thing and expect different results. Over the last several election cycles residents of Fluvanna have elected supervisors whose decisions have left the county in a very precarious situation....
I would like to encourage the voters of the Cunningham district to support William “Bill” Hughes for School Board in the Nov. 5 election. Having served on the School Board with Bill, I can assure you that he is an advocate for our children. He came to us knowledgeable about the schools and the community. He has been involved in the...
As a ten-year resident and business owner in Fluvanna and a conservative Republican for over 32 years, I can no longer stand by and support our current local Republican representatives.

You are welcome to come to the meetings each 3rd Thursday from April-Sept. and three days in a row the first week of October. Then you can spend Wednesday, Thursday and...
As the School Board representative for Rivanna District for the past year and half, I’ve spent many hours in our schools and learned that our county’s need for economic development and our community’s need for good schools are inextricably entwined.
