SUSSEX COUNTY, Va. (WTVR) - A grassroots effort is underway to get the Sussex County Board of Supervisors working together.

Both times, heated arguments have gotten so out of control that he feared the situation could escalate.
"It was just unreal, I have never seen public officials act the way this group acted," said Sheriff Raymond Bell.
