Nottoway County is witnessing its own version of a “New York City peak” in COVID-19 cases, and “we’re still not doing enough as a community to take this pandemic seriously,” says Dr. Clay Hall at Crewe Medical Center.
“I’m testing more people than I have since the pandemic started, which is good.”
Blackstone Town Council will hold a Continued Meeting today (Wednesday) at 6:00 p.m. to adopt a budget for 2020-21. The next budget, which takes effect July 1st, includes a $2.00 increase in monthly garbage collection fees to help the Town buy a new garbage truck. It also includes 3% raises for Town employees and higher raises in the police department to keep up with Nottoway County, where a starting deputy now makes about $42,000 per year. We’ll give you a raise rundown in our next edition. I’ve learned over the years that folks love reading about salaries...except their own.
