RUSTBURG, Va. (AP) 鈥� Officials in Virginia鈥檚 Campbell County have passed a resolution that expresses opposition to the governor鈥檚 new safety guidelines that aim limit the spread of the coronavirus.
The Lynchburg 太子探花 & Advance reports that the county鈥檚 supervisors declared the county on Tuesday to be a 鈥淔irst Amendment sanctuary.鈥�
