A mayor who reduces taxes, increases services, has a plan to decentralize the national energy grid, and put his city in the green energy business at no cost to the tax payers, sounds like a fairy tale. Not so, George Fitch, Mayor of Warrenton, is just such a guy, and a Republican at that. The Washington Post reports how Fitch sees treasure in trash. He has a plan to build an ethanol and electric plant on the county dump. He has done more improbable things in the past like organizing the Jamaican Olympic bobsled team. He was even gutsy enough to run against Jerry Kilgore in the Republican primary.
