The following letter to the editor is from Charlie Grymes, Prince William Conservation Alliance chairman:
STAFFORD — Two people who complained to Stafford County’s government about a Confederate battle flag high over Interstate 95.
One of them is a Stafford County resident Patricia Joshi who lives about six miles from where the flag flies over a home on Truslow Road and can be seen 80 feet over the highway.
STAFFORD — The technology that supports the region’s 911 system is more than 50 years old.
It’s based on copper wire technology, the stuff that for years — just as the telegraph of the 19th century did — has carried telephone calls across wires to old landline phones.
Here’s today’s OPM status.
From the FEMA press release:
PHILADELPHIA – Residents of Stafford County, Virginia have received a reduction in their flood insurance premiums through increase of various floodplain management measures encouraged by the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP).
STAFFORD – A state legislator who represents Stafford County said she agrees with activists who unsuccessfully urged county officials on Tuesday to order the removal of an 80-foot-high Confederate flag flying along Interstate 95.
Del. Jennifer Carroll Foy, D-Prince William, said she is against flying the flag towering next to I-95 north of Fredericksburg because she believes it sends the wrong message about the area.
