The Board of Supervisors didn't fire Panek; they removed the PSA's power to fund projects -- at least as long as Panek is chairman. "Although Panek technically remains chairman, a refusal by him to step down would be a Pyrrhic victory, since the PSA could no longer function." Sloppy journalism. The BOS effectively doomed running sewer pipes throughout Cheriton Metro. Hey, the Burg has gotten by with septic for 150+ years. If it ain't broke don't fix it. If you had experience in government or the military you might have understood the use of the word "fire" in the headline, which was fully explained by the sentence you quoted above from the story. The best-known example was when President Reagan "fired" Lt. Col. Oliver North. The word "fired" was used by essentially every news organization reporting it. Technically, North was not fired. He was a Marine before and after being "fired," and his salary did not change. You may wish to also complain to the Eastern Shore News (click to read) about its headline: "Supervisors replace head of county PSA." --EDITOR

There’s another solution to this county sewage controversy. Dismantle the whole PSA. A county this size doesn’t need another level of government trying to run things. If an area wants sewer service they can pay for it themselves, like Cape Charles does. The county Public Works Department can run the system, like they do in Bayview and the Eastville county complex. Cape Charles can lead the way out of the PSA and get themselves out from under the whole county sewer mess.

It’s pretty clear the current Board of Supervisors is paying closer attention to their constituents than has been the case until recently. I’d like to thank them for that.

Perception is reality. Hopefully, the town of Cape Charles will finally wake up and smell the coffee. When you find a fly in a bowl of milk, do you spoon the fly out or do you throw the entire bowl out? (Cape Charles being the bowl of milk!)

Well, well, well! Finally someone has realized what I have been saying all along: Bob Panek Needs To Go! Conflict of interest plain and simple.
