STAFFORD COUNTY, Va. — An elected official who reportedly moved out of her district has resigned.
Doreen Phillips held the Hartwood District seat on the Stafford County School Board and resigned today after it came to light she no longer lived in the county, but instead has a Fredericksburg address. Virginia law states elected officials must live in the district they represent.

STAFFORD, Va. — Ashleigh Dye was cold, articulate, and showed little remorse.
UPDATE 8 a.m.
Virginia State Police were called to a two-vehicle crash in the northbound lanes of I-95 at the 138 mm in Stafford County that occurred at 11:30 pm. A 2006 Honda CRV was northbound in the left lane when it lost control and ran off the right side of I-95. The Honda then overcorrected and struck a northbound tractor-trailer in the center lane of I-95. The impact caused the tractor-trailer to jackknife and block all three northbound lanes. Meanwhile, the Honda continued on and struck a guardrail before finally coming to rest on the right shoulder.

In the coming months the district will change the logos placed on the side of county vehicles from Stafford’s official seal to an image more reflective of the county’s overall branding.

The changes are planned in advance of a coming celebration to mark the 350th anniversary of the Stafford County’s founding.

STAFFORD, Va. — In what was a contentious and, at times, nasty exchange, Stafford officials learned why some think it’s a bad idea for their government to mirror Prince William County’s.
Stafford’s “At-large seven” all-volunteer committee presented their findings to the Stafford County Board of Supervisors Tuesday night. Their job was to evaluate nearby counties like Prince William and Loudoun who have an at-large seat on their county Board of Supervisors.
