Nov. 5-CHATHAM --The Pittsylvania County Board of Supervisors passed a uranium mining resolution by a 4-3 vote Monday night.

Chatham-Blairs Supervisor Brenda Bowman had proposed the resolution — one that does not ask the state to keep the moratorium on uranium mining and milling — during the board’s Legislative Committee meeting Monday afternoon. A more strongly worded uranium mining resolution proposed by Staunton River Supervisor Marshall Ecker died in the committee meeting. Source: GoDanRiver.com
