[edit] The good

[edit] The bad

  • Board meeting agendas and minutes are only available for the past few months.[5]
  • Comprehensive annual financial reports, including audits,[6] are posted for previous years, but not for the current year, and no budget information was found.
  • No information is available about how to make FOIA requests, and there appears to be no record of the county's FOIA compliance.
  • There appears to be no information about any arrangements with lobbying associations the county may have. However, the Virginia Association of Counties lists the county as a member.[7]
