Our view: What the judge did

Roanoke Times Editorial

....."In a perfect world, at least some Sweet Briar board members will hear all that testimony – at least indirectly – and ask if they’ve somehow been misled by their current leadership into making a hasty decision. In any even more perfect world, they’d oust that leadership and hire Flaherty-Goldsmith, who showed a lot more energy and creativity than Sweet Briar’s current regime ever has.

Even if that happened, though, Sweet Briar’s problems eventually come down to money. How much it needs may be in dispute, but there’s no dispute that it needs more than it has.

Sweet Briar supporters have 60 days to start writing some checks, and see if the board will live up to the offer its lawyer appears to have made."
