Warren Asks Change in Government
FRONT ROYAL The Warren County Board of Supervisors approved a resolution to pursue a County Board form of government. Critics say the move may aim to prevent reapportionment while a petition circulates for Front Royal and countywide representation. The plan would create a supervisor at large and grant the board appointment power over school and public welfare boards, shifting authority from the Circuit Court.
