Comments for Town Officials' Explanations Coming Out of Dreamland.............My Opinion at http://www.everythingnrv.com , comment 1 to 4 out of 4 comments http://www.everythingnrv.com Mon, 01 Dec 2008 22:57:00 +0100 FeedCreator 1.7.2 http://www.everythingnrv.com/content/view/94408/332/#comment-502 Riner is much too far away for the town of Christiansburg to annex. The comment obviously refers to a good ol boys club which apparently has been run for some time in council. However, your chest-thumping and blow-hardy threats I found most amusing. Kind of put a picture in my mind of something similar to the town drunk at the bar on a Saturday night ready to whoop everybody in sight - Gene Michaels Wed, 30 Apr 2008 07:18:14 +0100 http://www.everythingnrv.com/content/view/94408/332/#comment-501 The previous comment causes one to think that Christiansburg has ideas about annexing Riner. Well, I hope those people of Christiansburg are ready for a fight. Riner citizens are some of the toughest and most resourceful in the area. You can bet they will not lay down and get walked over. If the town 'brings them into the fold', the town better be ready to be held accountable like they never have before. - Riner Respecter Tue, 29 Apr 2008 09:20:31 +0100 http://www.everythingnrv.com/content/view/94408/332/#comment-498 Mr. Walton your editorial has hit the nail on the head. Mr. Terpenny doesn't want the citizens to know what's going on because someone may be smart enough to call his hand. I do agree, its time for the voters to turn out next Tuesday and vote out the good ole boys "country club". Christiansburg needs new blood and new leadership. Oh by the way, a new town manager, who knows how to do his job, would also be a strp in the right direction. So get out there and vote on May 6. If you don't vote for change, then don't complain! - resident Mon, 28 Apr 2008 22:33:43 +0100 http://www.everythingnrv.com/content/view/94408/332/#comment-497 Just wait for the $40k (initial set-up cost) website (with monthly service fees); SOME info will be available(?). With a $50+ MILLION dollar budget, this "small" town has outgrown it's "good ole"...stuff. I can hardly speak to a town resident that is generally satisfied with several aspects that affect them daily. As of late (Sunday, April 24th, informal candidate's "forum;" as per EverythingNRV.com, reporter Mr. Grimes)..folks were asking relevant questons, RE: web-site costs, aquatics center feasability, etc., but MOST IMPORTANTLY, a "sleeper" cell: "....(is) Christiansburg planning to expand town boundaries to bolster the tax-base." I can, most likely, answer that question. Riner (currently a "village" within the County's renderings) is a "target," while the Rt. 114 corridor is a "given" (as per Town Manager Lance Terpenny's statement that "Rt.114/and/or Pepper's Ferry, is our #1 priorty (as per public/recorded statement(s), a few months ago.) I just hope those folks are ready for Christiansburg's command-economy(Socialistic; Communistic rule; RE: land-use/zoning, etc.). Tip of the proverbial (BS). Thanks, EverythingNRV.com, for having the fortitude to use the "Joe Friday" method: "facts (ma'am, sir)... just the facts (please)." Wholesale changes @the Polls, PLEASE! - citizen Mon, 28 Apr 2008 19:51:15 +0100
