Morning Buzz -- Nov. 11, 2009

Nov. 11, 2009 8:58 am

A daily digest of what's going on in Fredericksburg, and what news from elsewhere is relevant here. Send suggestions to ebattle@freelancestar.com.

Today is Veterans Day. City offices are closed. If your recycling was supposed to be picked up today, it will be picked up tomorrow. The Hazel Hill community will hold a Veterans Day ceremony at 11 a.m. today, and second-grade students at Hugh Mercer Elementary will get a visit from area veterans who will share their experiences.

State Sen. Edd Houck visited public meetings and Spotsylvania and Fredericksburg last night to talk about how dire the state's budget situation is. You can read about his Fredericksburg remarks here, and Dan Telvock has a report from Spotsy here.
