2017 Local Elections in Prince George County

Prince George County Virginia SealTwo Board of Supervisor and two School Board seats will be on the ballot in the November 2017 general election.  There will be one of each elected from District 1 and District 2. These offices are in addition to state elections, including the gubernatorial election.  More about state elections will be published shortly.

If you are interested in running as a candidate for one of those local government seats, this Local Candidate Bulletin will spell out the required documents, costs, if any, and filing deadlines.

Reeve Ashcraft has already announced publically that he will not run for school board re-election from district 2 and it is assumed that Bill Robertson will run for re-election for the District 2 Board of Supervisor seat.  Bill Robertson identifies as a Republican and school board members run as non-partisan, though Reeve Ashcraft identifies as a Republican.

Politics is alive and well in Prince George County

Democratic candidates and candidates for nomination headlined the Agenda of the PG Dems on April 2nd in the 1st Floor Community Room of the Human Services Building.

Sheila Bynum-Coleman, candidate for the 62nd Virginia House District, spoke about the precinct by precinct analysis her campaign and the Chesterfield Democratic Committee has done which indicates that the 62nd is definitely winnable.  Riley Ingram, the Republican incumbent has held the seat for two decades and Democrats know it is time for a change. At this point Bynum-Coleman does not have a challenger in the Democratic Primary. Below Bynum-Coleman (r) speaks with Sharon Goertz, Prince George Dem and Electoral Board member.

Three of the contenders for the 63rd Virginia House District in the June 9 Democratic Primary also spoke.  Gerry Rawlinson, Lashrecse Aird, and Atiba Muse briefly focused on their backgrounds and how their experience qualified them for this post.  Rawlinson has a background in nursing and as a business owner, Aird has experience as a political committee leader, legislative aide to then Delegate Rosalyn Dance and her gubernatorial appointments to state commissions by Governor McAuliffe, and  Muse cited his constituent and legislative assistant experience with Congressman Bobby Scott and his experience as an elected School Board member as unique qualifiers for the position as a state Delegate. The Democratic incumbent, Joe Preston, is a candidate for the Democratic Nomination for the 16th Virginia Senate District.

The Board dealt with the issue of the the vacant District 2 seat for only about 30 minutes at its March 9 Budget Work Session.  The three nominees named last night were Bill Elliott, Marlene Waymack, and Sheila Minor. Note the absence of Reid Foster as a nominee.  If the Board cannot find a compromise candidate or that third vote cannot be found for Waymack or Minor then the Chief Judge of the Circuit Court will make the decision.  None of the 13 contenders are out of it yet.

There is a regular Board of Supervisors meeting tonight. Work session begins at 6 p.m. County Admin Building, third floor.

Board to take up tabled action regarding appointment of District 2 Interim Supervisor:

Prince George County Virginia SealNone of the three nominees received three votes at the March 3rd consideration of appointment to fill the District 2 vacancy on an interim basis.  The March 4th post outlines the nominees and votes.

It is possible that during the intervening week as one Supervisor or another has attempted to persuade one of the other Supervisors to support his candidate, efforts may have been made to search out a compromise candidate from the nine other interested citizens.

One source has indicated that the 9 remaining contenders are not out of the running.

Plan to attend the budget session on March 9 (Monday) at 6 p.m. at the BOS meeting room.  Watch democracy in action.

Will BOS Raise Property Tax Rates?

Public Hearing on March 27, 2012

The Prince George County Board of Supervisors will hold a public hearing on the setting of real and personal property tax rates for the coming year. 

The Business Meeting begins at 7:00 p.m. and the pubic hearings are the last items of the agenda.  The public hearing on the tax rates are the very last agenda item.

Real property assessments have dropped for the last two years without any raise in the real property tax rate to offset the loss of revenue.  However, the Supervisors were just elected or re-elected to four-year terms last November, so will feel safer raising the tax rates this year.  Raising rates may be warranted depending on what services we as citizens want and what mandates the federal and state governments have passed on to the localities. 

Also on the agenda are public hearings are a rezoning request by Nathaniel Dozier for  29 +/- acre parcels  off County Drive from R-A, Residential Agricultural to B-1, General Business.  Dozier is also requesting special exceptions for various commercial, storage and other uses  for the same parcel.

The Tax ID numbers for the parcels are 340(0A)00-118-0 and 340(OA)00-119-0.

Comments by citizens during the public hearings will likely be time limited and must be related to the subject of the particular public hearing.

There is however a public comment period immediately after the Pledge of Allegiance.  At this time citizens are free comment on any topic within any time limits set by the Board.  Someone might want to sound off on the plan of the County to pay three times the assessment for  the 167 acre +/- Buren Tract to build ball fields.

See you at the meeting.
