It's nice to see that our Spotsylvania Board of Supervisors were in a holiday mood. It seems they don't mind handing out $125,000-a-year jobs to their political allies.

They might even try to say that it is a full-time position that they handed to Del. Cole. We know that no man, not even Cole, can do two full-time jobs and be a delegate to the House of Delegates.

Spotsylvania and Washington must be a stone's throw away, because they both operate the same way.

The Board of Supervisors doesn't like taking federal money for sidewalks, but it certainly doesn't have a problem handing out money to political friends.
