Mary "Sis" Cassell
Good News! For those of you who may have heard the rumors, I can confirm that outgoing Master Commissioner of the Revenue Mary “Sis” Cassel will run for the West Wytheville District seat on the Board of Supervisors being vacated by Martha Umberger. With no announced opposition, election is assured.
Why do I consider this to be good news? Two reasons:
1.) Sis Cassell and the other four elected constitutional officers are not fond of Cellell “Papa Doc” Dalton.
2.) Sis Cassell and the other four elected constitutional officers are not fond of Cellell “Papa Doc” Dalton.
By all accounts, Sis has been a pretty good Commissioner of the Revenue. She must be. Wythe County voters have elected her every four years since 1983. She beat her last opponent by a margin of more than 2 to 1. I personally have found her office to be professional, friendly, and very helpful. You can’t expect much more from an elected official.
It is about time the county has a supervisor who is both extremely knowledgeable of the county’s finances, and who will stand up to His Excellency, County Manager For Life R. Cellell Dalton. Sources tell me we may expect her formal announcement in the coming days.
Speaking of Dalton, hope he remembers this number: 811.000.00.
Did I miss something? 811.000.00? Maybe I am just *that* dense, but I don’t get it…

In time, all things will be revealed.
Very well… I just thought I had missed something…
thumbs up!
Republican Line-up for Nov.
The GOP mass meeting held 7/11 turned out over 60 people. As you know, Bill Carrico is running in Wampler’s seat for Va. Senate. He seems “nice” enough, did his song & dance, said nothing earth shattering & it bothers me that he’s supposedly “disabled” but you could have fooled me! i’m not happy with “double dippers”.
Annie B also swept in on her broom. She’s very entertaining & certainly spends time on her job but has never responded to my inquiries with a real stand on the issues.
Sam Crockett is running for Treasurer. He’s always answered my ?’s upfront & quickly, & knows his job.
Sheriff King is a real great guy, & I seem no challenges to him.
Jerry Mabe, Commonwealth Atorney, is doing the job also.
West Wytheville District fetched up Artie Hall.
He didn’t file paperwork in time to be on the Rep. ballot so he’s running on the Independent line. Local, in banking,business minded, Emory & Henry College grad,wants to give voters an option. He’s got a website ArtieHall.com, so give’em a look see.
Faye Barker ,long time finance person is running for Finance Commissioner. She pretty much ran the dept. under Sis & is well qualified.
Ron Reeves from Ft. Chiswell area is running for Supervisor at Large. Smart fellow, can easily fill that position, rows his own boat & can whisk away Dalton in a heartbeat!
FINALLY,a person from Speedwell: Amanda Bentley.Assistant Mgr. at Walmart. Not new to politics as she ran in Wytheville but wasn’t successful. Smart, perky,enthusiastic & WHY NOT? Change couldn’t hurt & maybe she’s alittle more up on issues.
Finally, AND THE WINNER IS….. Buford Bailey!!!!!! He easily rangled the nomination away from M. Poole, who just said he had ALL his facts WRONG! Well, Mrs. Poole……I’ve been there & THEY WERE NOT WRONG! The
stack of paperwork here beside me, & the votes I heard you agree to tell the story in spades. GO Buford!!!!
Aug, 23 @7PM is the next GOP meeting . Wytheville’s own reality show continues continues w the BOS meeting tonite @7PM. Hope to see ya there.
