Editor, Gazette-Journal:

As a Mathews County supervisor, Janine Burns owes it to citizens to define the specific perimeter of the Mathews Court House Village area before voting in favor of any new county ordinances. Any ‘junk car’ ordinance or a ‘nuisance’ ordinance regarding old structures should be limited to specific defined geographic locations.

Our board of supervisors’ chairwoman has made her personal feelings of hostility toward a certain residential location public knowledge by expressing her feelings at a BOS meeting a year or so ago, as well as at a MPPDC meeting when she attended those. Both times I was present at these meetings. These new ordinances appear to be a vendetta on the part of our BOS chairwoman against a particular resident.

I would ask if anyone has tried to ‘help’ the owner of this particular location rather than threaten or bully this resident. If no sincere help has been offered then I suggest a new ordinance...
