West Virginia construction prompts Virginia to identify state funds to avoid harming tourism and regional development.
New leaders in Tazewell County promise improvements as a new board of supervisors and school board assume duties. Local officials praise prepared members and anticipate smoother courthouse and jail operations amid mixed signals from Richmond on state funding for Southwest Virginia projects. Local officials hope better water and sewer, transportation, and schools will attract jobs and slow student outflow. Larry Hypes notes the Republican shift in the General Assembly and Gov Gilmore’s pledge to boost Southwest Virginia.
A reader praises Barbara Hawkins for her Bluefield Daily Telegraph articles on the 1997 Balanced Budget Act Medicare cuts. The writer notes initial $115 billion cut, corrected to $206 billion, and lauds a $17 billion repayment over five years to stop further cuts after much effort. The letter urges Congress to reconsider such actions that affect seniors and the disabled.
