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.
