I write to bring attention to the sterling leadership shown by one of our Stafford County supervisors.
Paul Milde is well-known as the founder and chairman of SaveCrowsNest.com, a project that is moving toward a successful conclusion that will benefit not only Stafford County residents, but the many visitors to our area.
Paul always brings his energy, tenacity, and persistence to helping local residents, too.
Until a couple of months ago, I was president of the Poplar Hills Homeowners' Association in Brooke.
In that capacity, I brought to Supervisor Milde's attention a serious neighborhood drainage problem that caused health and safety concerns to Poplar Hills residents.
Paul worked tirelessly on our behalf with both county officials and VDOT.
VDOT responded to his persistence with a repair that is now in place.
The residents are very pleased, having been concerned about the issue for a number of years.
I offer my thanks to VDOT and to Supervisor Paul Milde for his personal involvement in our local problem. This is the kind of leadership we need as Stafford County moves forward.
Paul Milde is running for re-election in November. He has my vote. I hope that others who read this will re-elect a caring, hard-working, and exceptional county supervisor.
