And with today, 2023 is 53.2 percent complete. That’s the sort of that this particular town crier loves to proclaim and someone out there proclaimed July 10 as International Town Criers Day. That’s the name I came up with three years ago when I launched a business to report as much as I can about what’s happening in the community I call home even if I don’t technically live in a town. Either way, I’m Sean Tubbs, hear ye, oyez, and all of that. On today’s program:* Detection of low levels of PFAS lead to a shutdown of a water treatment plant in Albemarle County * There’s a hearing in Albemarle County on Wednesday to throw out the indictment made against a man lynched 125 years ago * A drought advisory has been lifted that affected Greene County and Louisa County* The Albemarle Planning Commission reviews a memo intended to suggest how cell tower restrictions could be lifted to boost signal coverage  This is a public episode.
