‘Where the press is free, and every man able to read, all is safe.'

— Thomas Jefferson

The Rappahannock News regards several bedrock issues to be of special importance to the character and heritage of Rappahannock County, and takes these consistent editorial positions on them.

1. Growth and development must be planned and controlled through strong, clear and fairly enforced zoning regulations sensitive to Rappahannock’s character, powerful beauty and the quality of life of its people. Development plans must be reconciled with the county’s Comprehensive Plan, which serves as the essential roadmap to our future.
