Clay Jones: Misconduct
By Clay Jones
CARTOONIST
The Stafford Board of Supervisors dismissed a citizen from the Library Board earlier this year for “misconduct.” Problem is, there seems to be no evidence of misconduct, and the Board didn’t even bother to tell the citizen it so branded it had taken this action. You think Clay Jones has a take on this? You bet.

Hi Marty
Julie Kay here. We are beginning the planning process for our 5th climate summit that we accomplish with local students. This year's summit will be a two day event, scheduled for Feb 21 and 22. . I was wondering if your paper would want to cover our progress? Adele covered it before and she really helped up the community involvement.
Thanks!
