Dumfries has been late when it comes to paying its bills on time. In one instance, the town was 10 months late, apparently.
Back in August of 2019, the town received an invoice from Axon Enterprises for $23,000 worth of tasers that were sent to the Dumfries Town Police Department.
Citizens have not been allowed to put comments into the record at a Stafford School Board meeting since April 14.

Area residents will have to find somewhere else to exercise, as the Prince William Medical Center is closing its onsite fitness center.
“It wasn’t a decision we came to easily,” said Dr. Stephen Smith, President of Novant/UVA Health System for Prince William and Haymarket Medical Centers. “We want to be able to provide resources to the community. We’ve been struggling relative to other alternatives people have with other fitness centers. Post COVID-19, we had to re-evaluate whether the resources we were continuing to put into the gym were able to balance out the greater needs of other services we provide at the hospital that you cannot get elsewhere.”
Lake Jackson Volunteer Fire Department (LJVFD) Chief, Walt Davis, is retiring after 24 years of service to the community.
Earlier this year, Davis decided to step down after 14 years as department chief so he could spend more time with his grandchildren and to focus on the last few years of his career before retiring. His replacement has not yet been decided upon as the fire department will be holding elections for the new chief in September.
A 27-year-old man has died after he was struck while walking along Route 28 last month.
