Hey, Rockbridge County. Cameron Steele and Farrell Ulrich here, and we’re the new producers of the Rockbridge Report.
It’s a new year, a new decade, and new news for The Rockbridge Report.
Like the rest of the world, The Rockbridge Report and our community have been focused on the devastation that Haiti currently faces in the aftermath of one of the deadliest earthquakes in human history. Local residents do their part as they donate time, money, and supplies to help the thousands of victims in the ravaged city of Port-au-Prince. It’s been sobering for us to cover this international tragedy. We are proud to cover the news in a community whose small size doesn’t keep it from giving a big help to those in need.
On a lighter note, our uniformed friends at VMI travelled to Richmond to march in an inauguration parade honoring our new governor. One cadet said he thinks Republican Bob McDonnell will do a great job as governor. But we’re worried about Virginia’s nearly $4 billion budget shortfall. Stay tuned for more coverage on what McDonnell plans to do to close that gap and how it will affect our community. He says he’s not going to be raising taxes, but the money’s got to come from somewhere.
We hope you enjoy our first winter news site. Be sure to check it out next week and tune into Channel 18 at 4:30 p.m. for the first broadcast of the term, January 28, at 4:30pm.
-Cameron and Farrell
