Blacksburg's Town Council election will be held on May 4th.

Last month, Robert F. Kennedy, Jr., lead attorney for the National Resources Defense Council, spoke at the launching of a new citizens movement, Citizens First for Blacksburg.

Citizens First is supporting three independent candidates, Ron Rordam, Paul Lancaster, and Don Langrehr, for Town Council.  These candidates support the stated goals of Citizens First, including restoring Blacksburg's Comprehensive Plan, respecting its Town Charter, and rejecting the TCB gravity sewer plan (Citizens First supports the bypass plus STEP sewer option, which provides the same sewer service at half the cost).

For more information about Citizens First and to participate in campaign efforts, please contact Lucy Goldberg, 552-8014, lucyann@naxs.net.
