Supervisors to be sworn in Saturday
Swearing in
A swearing-in ceremony will be held for the next Board of Supervisors on Dec. 22 at 10 a.m. in the board room of the Loudoun County Government Center in Leesburg.
Four new faces will be on the board, which will be controlled by a majority of Democrats. The ceremony is open to the public.
The new board’s first meeting is scheduled for Jan. 3 beginning at 9 a.m.
Planning Commission nominee
Supervisor-elect Stevens Miller (D-Dulles) has nominated citizen-activist Sandra Chaloux, of Aldie, for planning commissioner to represent the Dulles District. Chaloux has spoken often at Planning Commission and Board of Supervisors meetings opposing development in Dulles South. She also is the founder of the Gum Spring Regional Citizens Network.
In January, Chaloux filed a complaint with the county attorney’s office accusing current Planning Commissioner Barbara Munsey of attempting to discredit and intimidate her and her slow-growth group during a public hearing Jan. 22.
Supervisors will appoint planning commissioners in January.
