OF SUPERVISORS’ COMMENTS
Mrs. O’Bannon
recognized William Shimer from Boy Scout Troop 770,
sponsored by River Road Presbyterian Church, who was observing the meeting to
fulfill a requirement for the Citizenship in the Community Merit Badge.
Mr. Glover reiterated
concerns he expressed at the April 10, 2007 Board meeting by questioning the
Governor’s recent action to overturn the General Assembly’s approval of an $11
to $22 million per year increase in State funding to the County for road
maintenance, an amount equaling five to ten cents on the County’s real estate
tax rate. He asked for an explanation
from the Governor on this matter and commented that Henrico citizens are not
receiving their fair share of gasoline tax revenues from the State.
