A proposal by Guyana-born Mayor of Purcellville, Kwame Fraser for a sister city relationship with Linden has been put on hold after dissent emerged in Fraser’s council.
According to loudounnow.com, Fraser’s move to form a partnership with Linden will take a back seat to other town affairs for the time being.
The report said that Fraser on February 11 removed from the Town Council agenda a vote on the Sister City partnership – an initiative he put forward last month after a November visit to the Guyanese embassy in Washington. According to the report, Fraser said he removed the action item because he didn’t want to take up more of the public’s time than necessary, considering the council was faced with a lengthy agenda. He said the item could come back up at a later meeting.
