Martinsburg, WV - Habanero Mexican Grill was abuzz Monday night (December 7, 2008) as many members of the Berkeley County Democratic Association came together to break bread and celebrate their impressive successes in the 2008 local and national elections.

I wanted to make sure that we, as members of this community knew what happened last night.

There was a zoning debate held at the Berkeley County Youth Fair Grounds. Both sides were notified in March by certified mail of the Debate.
