Opinion : From the EditorStyle Weekly had a lot of fun at Chesterfield’s expense when they ran several tongue-in-cheek articles and tidbits about how former supervisors were considering passing a resolution making English the official language in Chesterfield.
In their October 17 issue, Style featured one of several hits on the language issue, “Chesterfield County implements fines for residents who break mandatory water restrictions. Board of Supervisors Chairman Kelly Miller adds an amendment requiring illegal aliens to pay in pesos, and then start talking English.”
Miller got a hard time for his ideas, which were intended to save taxpayer dollars, but were turned into a caricature of an intolerant county.

I agree completely with the Village Editor. As a former northerner and I mean Henrico County I enjoy seeing all people living in Chesterfield County regardless of language. I wish the government would come together to allow more hard working people into this country legally. Working, law abiding people contribute a great deal to Chesterfield's economy. I see that when I walk through the local WalMart. Some should stop looking outside and turning up their noses and spend more time looking inside at themselves.
