14 July 2007 | National Politics, Illegal Aliens | 15 Comments
This morning I did an interview by phone with MSNBC that aired at about 8:40AM, and expected it to be along the same lines at the interviews I did on Thursday. Instead, the reported decided he wanted a fight, and I was happy to oblige. As a result, I’ve been getting quite a […]

The calls for Prince William County Police Department Chief Charlie Deane’s resignation seem to be ramping up with today’s editorial in the DC Examiner, echoing the recent comments of a number of BVBL readers. For all of the great work the Chief has done, and that should not be overlooked, his recent comments to the […]

Abusive Driver Fees Gets Clarification
13 July 2007 | Virginia Politics | 26 Comments
There’s been a lot of talk about the abusive driver fees that are part of the transportation compromise, and the debate has somewhat spun out of control, making it harder to separate the legitimate problems with this component of the financing plan from the misconceptions. In today’s Manassas Journal-Messenger, Delegate Scott Lingamfelter makes a […]

Stewart: Illegals Supporters “Blowing Smoke”
13 July 2007 | Prince William County | 35 Comments
The nutbags over at the Puerto Rican Legal Defense and Education Fund, fresh off their showing at the Board of County Supervisors where they referred to our county as “Princess William County” and demonstrated significant misunderstandings about the nature of Supervisor Stirrup’s resolution, is now threatening to file a lawsuit against the county. Corey Stewart’s […]

Fairfax County Harboring Illegal Aliens
12 July 2007 | Fairfax County, Illegal Aliens | 38 Comments
Although Prince William County is moving in the right direction in regards to illegal aliens, there’s obviously a lot to be done on other nearby jurisdictions. First up is Fairfax County, which instead of cracking down on illegal aliens is actually subsidizing them. From the Fairfax County Times:

William Day, The “No Humor Man”
11 July 2007 | 31st HOD District | 7 Comments
Apparently the Democrat trying so miserably to unseat Delegate Scott Lingamfelter in the 31st District has a thin skin. A few months ago a friend of mine pointed out that William Day had failed to protect some domain names or even set up a campaign website, so I decided to have some fun with […]

Supervisor Stirrup Resolution Update
10 July 2007 | Prince William County | 17 Comments
I’ve gotten word that the resolution proposed by Supervisor John Stirrup will be modified and actually presented for a vote at Supervisor’s time at today’s 2PM board session. Earlier I had expected that because this was a change in the county ordinances, the vote would be delayed until August 7th in order to provide adequate […]

Only One More Vote Needed
10 July 2007 | Illegal Aliens, Prince William County | 18 Comments
The Manassas Journal-Messenger reports that Maureen Caddigan has weighed in in favor of John Stirrup’s proposed resolution regarding the county’s policies regarding illegal aliens today, putting four Supervisors pretty much on record of being in favor. Supervisor Nohe I expect will be in support the resolution, although after having a baby last week he hasn’t […]

Throttling The Good Humor Man. Not.
9 July 2007 | Manassas City | 13 Comments
Manassas is cleaning up the explosion of improperly licensed and unlicensed street peddlers, and is considering ending the practice of licensing street peddlers, who according to the city code are not authorized to ply their goods on city streets and sidewalks anyways. In predictable fashion, the editorial board of the Manassas Journal-Messenger starts crying about […]

Bill Bolling On Illegal Aliens
8 July 2007 | Illegal Aliens, Virginia Politics | 14 Comments
Lieutenant Governor Bill Bolling seems to be getting the message that in the wake of the Senate’s failure to propose anything but a sad joke for resolving the illegal alien issue, there are things that can and should be done at the state and local level to help limit the impacts on Virginia residents.

Principi Ducks On Illegal Aliens
8 July 2007 | Prince William County | 13 Comments
Frank Principi, who is saddled with being Hilda Barg’s chosen successor as Woodbridge Supervisor, has written a rather interesting letter to the editor thanking those Democrats who supported him and calling for party unity so he can be elected to the Board of Supervisors. That’s probably going to be a tough goal to accomplish given […]

Deane Backpedals
7 July 2007 | Illegal Aliens, Prince William County | 112 Comments
Well lo and behold, did Charlie Deane just get religion? Or is this another instance of Prince William County’s Chief of Police reluctantly bending to the will of the citizens who have been outraged by his secret establishment of a sanctuary policy in Prince William County?
The agenda packet for the July 10th meeting of the […]
