Henrico Supervisor Tyrone Nelson on the retirement of Virgil Hazelett

Henrico County Supervisor Tyrone Nelson

For the past 20 years, the County of Henrico has been efficiently run. We are nationally known as a great place to live, work, and play. Just over the past year, we have won close to 20 awards for the work we do in our County from the National Association of Counties. I applaud Mr. Virgil Hazelett for a job well done! We are better because of your leadership. The Richmond Times Dispatch interviewed me regarding Mr. Hazelett's retirement:

Tyrone E. Nelson, who took office as supervisor in January, said Hazelett called him the day after he was elected and "welcomed me aboard. He made me feel like I was part of his team." Nelson said that Hazelett's retirement, coming so soon after he was elected, made him feel "like I was being cheated."

Nelson quoted in article about cycling event

Henrico Supervisor Tyrone Nelson was quoted in Michael Paul Williams' column today:

Richmond landed this race 10 months ago. You would think city and suburban leaders would have been at the table before then, plotting a course for the championships. Instead, Dick Glover, chairman of the Henrico County Board of Supervisors, says the city has not contacted the board about possibly participating in staging races or sharing in the cost. Said Henrico Supervisor Tyrone Nelson: "If this is a regional project, then probably everybody should have been at the table at the beginning." If Nelson finds fault with Richmond's approach, it should give City Hall pause. Nelson cannot be dismissed as a suburban reactionary. Nelson, like Richmond Mayor Dwight C. Jones, is a Baptist minister. He pastors a church, Sixth Mount Zion, in Richmond's Jackson Ward. If Nelson feels out of the loop, we have a failure to communicate.
