Just a Reminder...Attendance is Encouraged: Virginia Roanoke River Basin Advisory Committee Meeting

Originally posted Friday, June 26, 2009...this is just a reminder. We believe that Walter Coles' continued service on this Committee should be kept under close scrutiny as he simply does not appear to be someone who genuinely represents the best interests of agriculture, forestry, or water.
