However, the US Census Bureau finds that 3,495 county adults are employed. Where are the missing 939 workers? In all likelihood, they are the ‘self employed and informally employed’ people who were not included in the UVA report, people such as farmers, small business owners, artists, cleaning ladies, lawn care workers, etc., a group that is significant in our county.

Thank you to all of you who let our Supervisors know that you support our budget as proposed. Public support makes a big difference! There is a Public Hearing scheduled for Monday, April 23rd at 7 p.m. at the Elementary School Auditorium. […]
Thank you to all the connections, riders, grooms, owners, and horses that put the Virginia back into Rappahannock County. What a great day at the races it was! A great big grateful thank you to the Eastham family and the Old Dominion Hounds for a fine day on the gorgeous Ben Venue course. […]
Garrett supports driving unneeded pipelines throughout Virginia with no regard for the objections of private landowners. Leslie Cockburn has informed us of the environmental and social cost to Virginians of the pipeline. […]
Bluemont noted that their state and local government support has shrunk during that period by over 75 percent, and I can verify a similar experience in our funding for Kid Pan Alley. In Virginia, per capita funding for the arts is 41 cents, putting us near the bottom in state rankings. […]
This Saturday night, Rappahannock County High School will host its Prom and After-Prom, an exciting well-deserved night of celebration, especially for graduating seniors who will be moving on with their lives. Lives being the key word. […]
Her dedication to fight for truth is evidenced by her long career as a journalist, exposing the facts about both international and national issues and governmental figures. Her decision to make the leap to politics is one driven by her view that we need to bring more truth to government and fight hard for all Americans. […]
In 1960, Louemma Moffett sold this small building to the county for $500. It served as the County Extension Office during the 1970s, and then as the County Administrator’s office. If the Rappahannock Historical Society can be of any help . . . in regard to historical items, please do not hesitate to ask. […]
What they do in hours and days could easily be done in minutes and hours with a good chainsaw by almost any county inhabitant. I find this to be representative of local policy being dictated by a bureaucracy in Washington, D.C. […]
Upon going to install a new mailbox and post on Tuesday, I found an anonymous card in my downed box apologizing for the incident along with a generous amount of money to replace it. […]
Bears are foraging and deer are grazing again in Rappahannock County as we move into April. The Virginia Department of Game and Inland Fisheries explains how property owners can best prevent or resolve conflict with wildlife through these easy techniques. […]
Most of our transactions with DMV can now be done online. If we have no problem with the requirement for a hunting license or boat registrations why not register our guns? […]
It was sad to see my office of 19 years closing its door but I’m happy to see it’s going to get a much-needed makeover. By the way, doesn’t it look more like a gingerbread house? Just sayin’. […]
I was appalled and disturbed when I heard loud [Tannerite] explosions from the scenic beauty of our farm in Huntly. Please do not let this issue die. Rappahannock County needs to protect our environment and our serenity here. I can’t even believe that Warren County has much better and more reasonable statutes than Rappahannock. […]
It’s time for our traditional springtime BlueState/BlueGrass Brunch, this Saturday April 7th from 10 a.m. to 2 pm at the Washington Firehouse. Price of admission? Just “a handshake and a smile”! […]
For older ages at retirement, the lifetime benefits would be: age 63, $326,400; age 64, $339,072; age 65, $342,000; age 66, $336,000; age 70, $316,800. These lifetime benefit dollar amounts are not significantly different from each other, and thus it doesn’t really matter whether you begin Social Security at age 62 or at older ages. […]
I do not believe in abandoning the current forms of energy production that have fueled our economy and workforce for more than a century before we prove that alternative energy can effectively shoulder the same burden held by existing methods at a cost that is lesser or equivalent. […]
It is the clearest, most informative report on the schools’ annual budget that we have seen in 37 years. We especially appreciate the intelligent, organized, lucid presentation of the state of our public schools. We have longed for an annual budget report that begins with a precise statement of the schools’ educational goals for our children. […]
Waiting until after full retirement age can yield an even higher benefit. If Paula delays claiming past her full retirement age of 66, the benefit continues to grow every year she defers up to age 70. […]
It was a pleasure attending the Fifth Congressional District Democratic Forum recently. The intelligence, wisdom and integrity of the three attending candidates were mind-blowing. Each understood our district’s issues and offered creative, viable solutions. […]
