Hello #Mastodon! I'm a long time writer and a proponent for getting the truth out to the public about how much more important LOCAL government plays a part in our lives.
More so than state and federal, LOCAL government dictates the small things in life: trash pickup, how tall your grass should be (before you're fined for non-compliance), street lights (and who to contact to get them fixed), and potholes in the road.
These are just a few very minor things that LOCAL government touches in our day-to-day jungle. LOCAL government touches far more than just menial matters in our yards and our streets, too, but that conversation is for another day.
I'm glad to be here on #Mastodon where I am capable of writing about the following

and so much more - without being Facebook Jailed.
I cannot say I will be a predominantly #Mastodonian #blogger but I will do my best to keep this little #town of #Jarratt in the spotlight - for better or worse.
You've obviously heard about the #BoarsHead closure. That's the area I'm talking about, here.
Boar's Head has nothing in comparison to the LOCAL government issues.
Stay tuned - and don't forget to visit JarrattVA.FYI for the latest news updates!
