Government Form Set For Vote in Hanover County
The Hanover County Board of Supervisors voted 5-2 to call a public referendum on switching from county administrator to county executive government. The change would abolish the offices of county treasurer and commissioner of revenue. The vote followed weeks of rumors cited by Revenue Commissioner Charles White Jr. as a key reason for his resignation. Officials said White’s departure influenced the decision and timing, as state law ties the switch to the next general election when all seven supervisors’ terms expire next year.

Virginia Supreme Court Rules Jury Not Needed for Sentencing
The Virginia Supreme Court held that a defendant who waived a jury at the original trial is not entitled to a jury trial on the sentencing phase. The ruling, in Bernard Ross Fogg’s case, says the second phase was a continuation of the first trial, thus no right to jury sentencing. The court also reversed a drug conviction and affirmed a bank permit, while rejecting a DUI blood test claim.
