Jeff Sili violating campaign laws?

From The Free Lance-Star: Web sites investigated in Orange:

The Virginia State Police is investigating two Web sites that are named for Orange County Board of Supervisors candidates but turn out to criticize them.

  1. My, my. Seems Silly has violated a lot of rules lately. Nothing will happen to him though. I hear that both CWA’s are afraid of her. Unless someone pushes the issue it will be skimmed over.
