Bob Weir, council member for the Town of Haymarket, publically declared his candidacy for Chairman of the BOCS during citizens’ time today. Most people looked rather surprised. Mr. Weir spoke of his outrage over lack of transparency, lack of open government, and the impact and undue influence of special interests and his comments were directed at the Chairman, Corey Stewart. He also spoke of his disappointment in leadership and overall lack of knowledge of the issues.
Bob Weir told the Board that there were 4 boxes to use in defense of liberty: soap, ballot, jury, and ammo. Mr. Weir will challenge as a Republican. Corey Stewart responded with “And Happy Holidays to you, too.”
