One has to wonder whose agenda Ms. Kirkman, a Stafford County planning commissioner, is really pushing. In

I am very concerned about the performance of Widewater Planning Commissioner Cecilia Kirkman based on her recent letter to the Stafford County Sun: “Safety Concerns Go Beyond Hope Road”. 

I take offense at the blatantly anti-gun attitude demonstrated by the item, “The bad…Va. Issues 60% More Permits for Guns” that recently appeared on your editorial page. It should have read, “The good…More Virginians are taking responsibility for the defense of themselves and their loved ones.

The battles of American history; U.S. Indian wars, Pocahontas, the Civil War, the American Revolution, historical remnants all stand out in this lovely and historical state of Virginia, Stafford County, to name a few.

It is shameful how the people who whined that we “didn’t finish the job” in the first Persian Gulf War are now the same ones who lament the sacrifice necessary to do so today [Sun editorial: Far too many lives lost in Iraq, March 28-April 3].

While I know it’s not an easy job, I want to personally thank Speaker Bill Howell for fighting against unnecessary tax hikes, especially the gas tax. His continued leadership on responsible spending and lower taxes is much appreciated by this mother of four.

April is Organ Donor Month. It is a time when my family reflects on a tragic event in our lives.

I had a wonderful time going up to Washington, D.C. for the National Epilepsy Foundation Walk. 

How disgusting that the Stafford County Sun publishes a picture of children selling live rabbits on the front page of Talk of the Town

The information mentioned in “Officials: Prepare for tornados” explains quite clearly that one needs to be prepared for what anything life may choose to bring.

The small business owners of Aquia Towne Center are not being treated fairly at all by Ramco-Gershenson. 

The 2005 board of supervisors election was hotly contested.

On behalf of the American Cancer Society’s National Capital Region, I applaud Wegmans

One of the most common fears is a “fear of snakes” and I would like to add to that, what about the “fear of rats”? 

On behalf of Ramco-Gershenson Properties Trust, owner of Aquia Towne Center, I want to thank Supervisor Paul Milde and the Stafford County Board of Supervisors, for their favorable consideration of the property’s rezoning application last month.

The Stafford County planners don’t seem to understand that to solve “global warming” all need to act locally.
