Goochland
County prides itself on public trust and transparency, as demonstrated through
the Board of Supervisors’ adopted Code of Ethics and Standards of Conduct. The
County is aware of an inappropriate tweet that District 2 Supervisor Manuel
Alvarez, Jr. shared on Tuesday, October 2nd; it was brought to our attention on
Wednesday, October 3rd. Comments and
opinions shared by individual Board members, including Supervisor Alvarez, are personal
opinions and do not reflect any position of the Goochland County Board of
Supervisors or Goochland County.
We
appreciate that Supervisor Alvarez realized the inappropriateness of his tweet,
and immediately apologized for his actions.
“This
unfortunate incident is not reflective of the Goochland County community,” said
County Administrator John A. Budesky. “We
are a community that values and respects civil discourse regarding all
perspectives, and promotes the sharing of ideas and opinions in a constructive
and respectful manner.”
