Only one citizen spoke at the second Budget Hearing 5PM 23 June 2015:
Gretchen Quarterman asking for approval of the VLMPO request
for funding for a public transportation study.
The Chairman said they weren’t going to, and shortly afterwards
at their Regular Session they didn’t, although they did approve more than that for a water main subsidy for
private developers.

The 5PM meeting was billed on
the county’s website as

Budget Adoption Meeting
and the previous morning by the Chairman as

a presentation by the Finance Director.
Is it a public hearing if it’s never advertised as a public hearing?

At least the proposed budget is on the county’s website,
just not where

they previously said it would be.
