Virginia’s Attorney General Mark R. Herring has issued his opinion that Urbanna’s mayor “is authorized to vote in proceedings of the council in the same fashion as other members of the council.”
The town council had voted earlier this year to seek an opinion of the attorney general after town council’s attorney, Andy Bury, told council that he had discovered that due to the town’s voting structure the mayor was not permitted to vote as a member of council.
