Powhatan Today

About 15 county residents filled the back room of the Village Garden Café Jan. 13, for a town hall meeting with Virginia gubernatorial candidate Terry McAuliffe, a democrat from McLean, Va.
McAuliffe, 51, shook hands with those in attendance and made a few remarks before opening the floor for questions.
“Everyone is nervous about the economy,” he said, “and I think 2009 will be the worst year since the Great Depression.”
McAuliffe hails from a business background — “I’m from outside the legislature,” he admitted — and his focus Tuesday centered on bolstering a failing economy by creating new jobs.
