RAPPAHANNOCK’S Supervisors are rightly concerned about increasing pressures “from on high” to force all communities, especially small counties, to conform to standards decreed by state or federal bureaucrats.
Too often, these dictated programs from Richmond or Washington are glaringly inappropriate, or exceedingly grandiose, for a small, rural county like Rappahannock—or the Madison, or Clarke, or Page. Small counties often have neither the financial resources nor the manpower to carry out some of these programs, and—most importantly—no pressing need for many of the programs themselves. A federal program which is valuable for a large metropolitan area isn’t always of value to a farm area, for reasons-which are obvious to everyone except the bureaucrats.
