Residents in The Valley are urged to avoid eating fish from the South River.

National park officials and state health officials held a town hall meeting about mercury pollution Thursday night at the Augusta County Government Center in Verona.

Officials said Virginia is behind other states when it comes to laws about mercury prevention from power plants.

Residents were warned to avoid eating fish from the South River, except for stocked trout, because of mercury levels in the water.

A committee in the House of Delegates has sent a bill to the House floor that would allow private, faith-based adoption agencies to discriminate against prospective parents based on their sexual orientation. Would you support this?

Yes, I think if it is a private organization it's okay.
No, there should be no discrimination.
It should depend on a case by case basis.
