Last night, the Bedford County Board of Supervisors unanimously approved a resolution asking the Governor to reconsider his decision.
Residents must now travel to Roanoke or Lynchburg.
The resolution argues this is not only inconvenient for residents, but it's creating an economic hardship for local businesses and car dealerships.

capitalism up close and personal.
He came up through the ranksand little is known about him. When he ran
the party school for up and coming leadershe had a reputation as
something of a liberal.

SO PEOPLE CAN BE OPTIMISTIC THAT HE CAN BRING ABOUT SOME CHANGES. BUT
IT STILL WAITS TO BE SEEN HOW MUCH POWER HE IS ACTUALLY GOING TO HAVE.
That's because the man who is retiring really isn't. The outgoing Jiang
salted the new leadership with his own favoriteswhich means he can be
the power behind the throne.
And here is something Americans can appreciate. This is China's first
peaceful transition of power in decades. They want to reflect
stability. It keeps China calmand keeps those factories making more and
