Candidates’ Public Forum on Water Quality
posted by ThanhThere will be a Candidates’ Public Forum at the Rockingham County Board of Supervisors meeting room on October 9, 2007 from 7:00 to 8:30pm where citizens will have an opportunity to hear viewpoints on water issues related to:
- the ongoing fish kills in the Shenandoah Valley,
- reduction of non-point source pollution,
- growth and water resources
The website lists 9 candidates who will be attending. This forum is sponsored by a number of environmental and water quality-related organizations. Looks like a pretty interesting opportunity.

I’m hoping that agriculture industry stakeholders (farmers, dairymen, poultry producers) will show up at this forum to add their two-cents. I want to know how we protect and support agriculture, while guiding sustainable growth in the Valley.
