• ▶︎Greene supervisors back school sales-tax referendum as ICE criticism dominates public comment (pjrnews.com) — Greene County supervisors, including the Stanardsville District chair, are moving toward a November referendum on a new 1% sales tax dedicated to school construction, while also fielding intense public debate over the sheriff’s cooperation with ICE. A Stanardsville resident and others pressed supervisors on immigration enforcement, budget oversight, and community safety, leaving both the tax question and ICE controversy unresolved for now.
