think your question assumes something that is not necessarily true and is generally misunderstood by the public. I do not believe that the position of commonwealth’s attorney is a parttime job in Rappahannock County, especially considering the duties which the commonwealth’s attorney must also perform as county attorney. The budget for the commonwealth’s attorney’s office, including salaries and expenses, is around $34,000. I think the people of Rappahannock County are entitled to expect the commonwealth’s attorney to give the duties of that office top priority.

“The statute merely provides that in counties having a population of more than 35,000, the commonwealth’s attorney may not engage in the private practice of law. As I have said many times, I intend to give my full time and attention to the duties of commonwealth’s attorney and limit my private law practice to the extent necessary to eliminate any possible conflict of interest between my duties as a public official and my private business.”
