Because of their steadfast commitment to sensible growth and their unwavering opposition to the 2007 Comprehensive Plan Update, Hanover Conservation Voters (HCV) is pleased to endorse Supervisors Aubrey “Bucky” Stanley (Beaverdam) and Elton Wade, Sr. (Cold Harbor) for re-election to the Hanover County Board of Supervisors on November 6, 2007.
For many years, Bucky Stanley and Elton Wade have pursued a sensible and responsible vision for managed and measured growth in Hanover County. HCV plans to provide Bucky Stanley and Elton Wade with several new colleagues who share their vision and respect for the majority of citizens who have asked for responsible growth, conservation of the County’s natural resources, and historical preservation.
HCV is a non-partisan, registered political action committee (PAC) that helps to elect candidates who will champion common sense growth in Hanover County. HCV interviews and screens candidates, concentrating its resources on races in which HCV money and volunteers will make a difference.
Unfortunately, while some elected officials in Hanover County publicly espouse conservation values, they often enact policies that do very little to conserve Hanover’s environment and future quality of life. The controversial 4-3 vote to approve the Comprehensive Plan Update was a stark reminder of how the concerns and interests of a majority of Hanover’s citizens were disregarded by some elected officials, county planners, and policy makers. HCV strongly believes that a greater alignment between a healthy environment, and measure growth, voters' concerns, and policy development will be achieved through the ballot box on November 6, 2007. As James Buchanan, our 15th American President once said, “The ballot box is the surest arbiter of disputes among free men.”
Remember in November - it’s Your Home, Your Vote, and Your Voice.

Hanover County needs a clean sweep. With every thing that has been done over the last few years, the current BOS need a complete changeover. However, the idea that the change of the BOS will solve our Big Developer problems in Hanover County is childish. The Planimng Department needs a house cleaning and the BOS sre the only ones who can do this and unless new candidates understand that and are willing, this election is null and void from the begining!
