For some of those municipalities, this is understandable, rather than just lack of civic participation. I wouldn’t have wanted to touch the situation in Fauquier-Strickland either, and I wouldn’t be surprised to find that there are other places that are equally troubled.
It’s unfortunate the article doesn’t get into that but I agree it’s a seriously thankless and difficult job where people are horrible to each other.
