could be disposed of in the dumpsters and by whome. “We are making an effort,” Buntin concluded.
Hampton District
“This is my first political speech ever and I hoped it would never have to happen. I prayed for snow last week,” began Ellen Manson, candidate for supervisor from Hampton District. Manson, a nurse and resident of Washington who moved to Rappahannock four and a half years ago, said she’d decided to run for supervisor “because I’m really interested in what happens in this county.”
She cited her past experience and education as qualifications for the administrative responsibilities of a county supervisor. “I’m very organized, I’m pretty good at debate and very good at problem solving. I’m familiar with the state bureaucratic system and good at manipulating within its bounds,” said Manson, adding that she was also experienced at formulating budgets.
“I would want to know what the voters think.before coming to any decision and I would act in the best interests of the county as a whole,” she pledged.
Manson agreed that trash is a big problem in the Rappahannock. “The dumpsters are probably the biggest problem,” she said. “The only way to really contain it would be to fence the dumpsters and post a guard. I don’t know if that’s practical or if we can afford ' it.”
As for her position on adoption of a cased gun ordinance, Manson said “Personally, I’m for any law that stops people from hunting from cars but I would have to check with my constituents bfefore voting.”
In response to a question on the qualit)\of education in Rappahannock, Manson said she’d found this to be the main area of concern among county residents. “People know their taxes will have to go up to get better schools,” she maintained.
If elected, Manson pledged that she would spend tax dollars in education “for the right priorities and the school board has to let us know what they are.”
Manson also stated that she was for controlled growth. “But we do have to do what’s legal. We can’t lock the doors,” she concluded.
