Town hall meeting in Pound held Tuesday night to discuss whether to remain a town. Only two town leaders attended the meeting, Mayor Stacey Carson and a council member. The meeting came after Majority Leader of the House of Delegates Terry Kilgore filed legislation to remove the town's charter. Recent turmoil has brought town services, including water, sewer, and public safety, to a standstill. The town council is unable to take action itself because it received an injunction after suing two former members. The council also needs a quorum of three to take any action, but new members must be appointed by a judge. Some business owners showed an interest in joining the council in an attempt to save the town government, although several businesses have closed in the last year. No Virginia state legislators were present at the meeting or watched it via Zoom.
