Bedford County residents pack Board of Supervisors meeting in support of proposed resolution
BEDFORD COUNTY, Va. โ Bedford County residents packed the hallway and meeting room Monday as the Board of Supervisors discussed a resolution against Governor Ralph Northamโs executive order limiting gatherings to 25. Chairman John Sharp silenced the crowd, explaining the resolution was not on the meetingโs original agenda. The resolution would order the county sheriff and commonwealthโs attorney to arrest, detain and prosecute state agents who are enforcing the governorโs executive order. The board said they have no control over the sheriff or attorney, but stand with the public. Bedford County resident Isaiah Knight wrote the resolution and led the public into the meeting.
