Quantico
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.
Was Quantico Town Mayor Kevin Brown wrong when he ignored the orders of his town council?
That question was batted about during a special meeting of the Quantico Town Council on June 16. Last year, the council voted and directed Brown to hang decorative banners with the U.S. Flag emblazoned on them onto light poles in the town.
