briefed and discussed with the citizens of Rappahannock County.
Once we can agree where we want to go as a county, then we can determine the best way to get there. In all probability it will require another complete reassessment of our land values for tax purposes. If there are inequities in the present system then the citizens of the county should not be forced to live with that system for four or five more years. We can still keep our open lands, preserve our scenic beauty and remain an agricultural community with an equitable distribution of responsibility.
I cannot speak to this situation in further depth until I have had an opportunity to thoroughly analyze the situation. But I can tell you this, that whatever the situation, the citizens, all the citizens of Rappahannock County, must be allowed to have a voice and be given an opportunity to thoroughly understand the total and complete situation and the impact that it will have on them.
