Let there be no question about who runs the Town of Quantico.
An opinion from Virginia Attorney General Mark Herring upholds Mayor Kevin Brown as the chief executive officer of the town. This gives Brown the authority to direct and manage town staff, according to the opinion.
Earlier this year, the Quantico Town Council questioned whether or not the town mayor had such authority. William Boyce, the town attorney, asked Herring to weigh in on the matter.
Herring’s reply arrived in the town in the form of a letter dated July 10.
