Hey citizens! Fed up? Got something civic to get off your chest? Well, stop bellyaching to your barber and get yourself out to a public meeting. After all, someone’s got to keep an eye on these elected officials so they don’t pull a fast one while everyone’s on summer vacation.
Here, for your politicking pleasure, is a sampling of public meetings on development issues coming up during the next couple of weeks in Charlottesville and Albemarle. Now remember: Only you can prevent democracy fires.
