Grant will
help stop
speeding
By Briar S. Bogin
Rappahannock News Staff Writer The Rappahannock County Sheriff's Office recently received a $7,000 Highway Safety grant from the Virginia Department of Motor Vehicles to help defray overtime costs and increase speed enforcement throughout the county. Sheriff Larry Sherertz said the funding will “offer deputies overtime pay to do nothing but speed enforcement in the three areas most affected by speeders - the Town of Washington, Flint Hill and Sperryville.”
