politicians! 

I get the 4-H. but, in a county where the north fork of the Shenandoah River is polluted by animal waste, does adding more untreated animal waste to the river make sense?

and in a county that's stuck in the last millennium, is this any way to attract new development--like the rest of the forward-thinking world is doing? 

local politicians! what are they thinking!

Oliver Wendell and Lisa Douglas would be pleased. They could move to Shenandoah County and have it all! (as long as they don't mind living near a polluted river that's the source of drinking water for many of the county's residents and living in a county that's stuck in the last millennium.)

Strasburg upgrades to self-watering hanging baskets | Nvdaily | nvdaily.com 

Strasburg residents, businesses asked to conserve water | Nvdaily | nvdaily.com

one week the town is asking residents and businesses to conserve water. 

the next week the town is upgrading to self-watering hanging flower baskets.

what are the town's priorities? 

• conserving water? 
• flower baskets? 
• taxes that residents and businesses pay to the town? 

is spending tens of thousands of dollars for flower baskets, water, horticulture foreman and workers, overtime, etc. a good use of the taxes that residents and businesses pay to the town? 

does any of this even make sense?

E. coli colonies grow during drought-like conditions. they get "flushed" during large rain events.
