Eviction decision will come back to haunt
I was shocked and dismayed to read that the Culpeper County Planning Commission voted 4-3 on Sept. 9 to recommend eviction of a 77-year-old woman, Alice Johnson, from her home located on the land where she has lived most of her life and still is a co-owner ["Culpeper woman may get evicted," Sept. 10]. Her home is on Carrico Mills Road near Brandy Station in the Stevensburg Magisterial District. Thus, it is more shocking that Planning Commission Member Dwayne Payne from the Stevensburg District cast the deciding vote that recommended Mrs. Johnson's home eviction. Since Mr. Payne is running to represent the Stevensburg District in the November election, he should publicly explain why he supported such a Draconian measure that robbed Mrs. Johnson Stevensburg District voters have a right to know what motivates their supervisor candidates as they cast votes affecting people's lives, dignity, and private property.

How many people grew up with out running water and elec?I know a lot
It is easy for them to evict an elderly person and steal their land. A younger person would have the time and energy to fight them. The best way to show our dissatisfaction with that decision is to remember it on election day and vote them out.
What a cold hearted, no feelings for human being, bunch they are. Lets hope that some day, the same thing will happens to them. Meanwhile, I hope they can't sleep any at night.
