remembers the past incarnations of the sludge controversy in, Rappahannock. She believes that the supervisors have been put in a difficult position by state laws.

“They don’t have the power. Virginia doesn’t pass a lot of power down to local governments,” explained EstesBaader. “I am definitely in favor of the county regulating it,” she added. Estes-Baader also believes that the land application of sludge would affect the whole county, not just the land it’s applied to.

“I think it’s wrong. You should be considerate of your neighbors, you’re affecting other people,” she said.

Estes-Baader believes that the county is on the right track, and wants to keep it that way.

“If you look at the counties around us, you can see that we’ve been protected. Rappahannock is special to me, . . I want to see Rappahannock grow but keep taxes down. That’s an ideal world,” said Estes-Baader.
