The Franklin County School Board must pay a Martinsville-based web design firm upward of $11,000, a judge has ruled. A lawsuit was brought by herDesign Inc., which does business as HD Web Studio, after the school district canceled its contract with the company. The money serves as payment for work HD Web Studio had already done on the project, which was to include logo design and creation of individual school websites, among other things, according to court documents. School board attorney Stephen Maddy said the dissolution of the contract was prompted by “creative differences.”

The official photo of the Bristol Virginia City Council on the city’s website speaks volumes about the current divide. It excludes embattled Councilman Doug Fleenor. Taken July 2, immediately following the council’s annual reorganization meeting, Fleenor begged off sticking around to appear in the photo that morning, saying he had someplace else to be. The image was never retaken. On Monday, Fleenor faces an ouster vote by fellow council members. What the public and media didn’t know then — but are now learning — is that meeting occurred within days after a watershed moment in the sometimes rocky relationship between the outspoken Fleenor and his fellow council members. “In late June, I was advised by at least one council member to begin looking into Mr. Fleenor’s actions, or lack thereof, and attendance,” City Manager Randy Eads said Friday. Eads said he then began to review Fleenor’s attendance at meetings.
