It was a joke fellas...lighten up a little. To be honest about it he was kinda right, considering al lthe towns in SWVA are crappy. But the people are some of the nicest people I know.

We have board members who make an income off of all these small towns in Wise County. They decide what X amount of money goes to each school for what ever they need. But IMO the board is leaving out Appy and could care less really about trying to spend money on all these towns to make them look better. Is the excuse that well in a couple of years we will all consolidate anyway so why spend the money now? I thought when the lotto came in here that it was going to be a resource to help all our schools, but yet I've only seen that money go up Northern Va.. I don't know much about politics but I know that our school board is doing a poor job at funding for our schools. It would be nice to have a board that really cared enough to start making our towns look better. I don't care how many students attend these small schools they all deserve a nice school and gym. You don't spend on some schools and leave some out.

Guys, no offense, but most of our towns aren't desireable positions or places.

Don't take everything so thin-skinned.

I mean lets be honest, Appy is not that far from a ghost town. Most people living there will tell you that, as will people in Pound, Clintwood, etc.

Is there a benefit to living in those places? Sure there is, but its not a place people live thinking high living, and big money, and moving into the area normally requires someone to be from the area, and looking to move back to a simpler lifestyle. Appy, with the nature of the way the school system has been looked at, would have to be viewed a bit more carefully than many other jobs in the education field. That's not cutting.
