Other than the strangely run-together words of its title, The Odd Dominion [January 30] seems to be a worthy addition to C-VILLE Weekly. But, if as Mr. Catalano promises, it will last “as long as I have breath in my body, toner in my ink jet, and the ongoing indulgence of the fine folks at […]

Assessments stink! The article on “County assessments soaring” [Development News, January 30] makes me wonder how those of us within smelling distance of the County dump managed to get such valuable land. A good many of the land values within a mile of the County property had increases of 100 percent or more in the […]
Do you remember the song that goes “They paved paradise and put up a parking lot” [“Biscuit Run, Habitat team up,” January 23]? Well, in the case of Biscuit Run it is paved paradise and put up a small town! I will be living down the street from this mess and like most of the […]
The legislation last year to prohibit Virginia wineries and to prevent Virginia wine retailers to deliver to their customer was the worse legislation I have witnessed in my 44 years in the alcoholic beverage industry [“Legislative help for small wineries," Government News, January 16].

As I sit up here in the middle of Loudoun County, I find it necessary to crank up the volume on my TV set or CD player to overcome the deafening sound of trees falling to the developers’ dozers. I am sending a stern warning to my “southern neighbors” in Charlottesville and Albemarle [“How dense […]
Burkah worse than bite Now that we are into the New Year and I have had the opportunity to peruse your editions of December 26 and January 2, I submit the following comment on your attempted castigation of Congressman Virgil Goode for his remarks regarding the newly elected Muslim to Congress [“Goode makes complete ass […]
Biscuit Run road rage It is an interesting quote from Mr. Blaine in the C-VILLE Weekly under Development and Biscuit Run [“Biscuit Run: More Complaints,” Development News, December 26] that cites his “help” in providing the necessary infrastructure to take this high volume of traffic off of the Fry’s Spring Neighborhood streets that is a […]
More grief for Goode Nail this man to the journalistic wall [“Goode Makes Complete Ass of Self,” Government News, December 19]! He is a disgrace to the United States and the founding fathers, many of whom espoused the principles of metaphysical spirituality, Buddhism, and who knows: maybe even the tenets of Islam. I thought the […]
Good(e) grief Thank you for pointing out to the public the obvious, Mr. Goode’s prejudiced ways [“Goode Makes Complete Ass of Self,” Government News, December 19]. He doesn’t realize that the “values and beliefs” of America start first with freedom of religion. Keith Ellison’s family roots were established in the 1700s in America. Mr. Goode […]
Rah rah for rail If you were asked how to clean up the environment, reduce dependence on oil, save taxpayers money, and help improve overall quality of life, what would you suggest as a policy to meet these objectives? In a time of political upheaval and world strife, we often forget about the simple things […]
