I guess he is driving through the neighborhood trying to intimidate us. It amazes me the things I see. I guess he wants to scare us into not going to the BOCS meeting tomorrow. Well, his scare tactics don't scare me! Lafayette,

I think supply and demand will eventually return things to normal. We will save a tremendous amount of money once the demand for ESOL programs drops in our schools.

I will not dine in the City of Manassas or Manassas Park, because of it. It makes me sick to pay almost twice the tax. I know of one eating establishment that recently opened in PWC that has pretty much the same menu as it's "sister" establishment in the City of Manassas. Well, we don't have the meal tax in the county so the prices on the menu are higher by the meal tax rate at the new place.Hmmm. When asked about the prices, they replied it's still the same price you are used to paying in the City. The nerve of these fools, and too a bunch of senior ladies. I will be avoided both establishments like the plague. The are many locals on here that will know exactly where I'm talking about. It's too bad they have GREAT food! Now, there's quite a bit of dead weight in the government of PWC. I know of two salaries they could completely from Neighborhood Services. I've called them out enough by name, and won't bother now. What has happened to term "public servant" I guess it's not PC. Our Board of Supervisors is just that. Do they need to be reminded? John Light,

THAT power is one person (read each and every one of us) contacting our representatives at every level and making sure our voice is heard. They swore we needed new taxes to fund schools so they pushed a meals tax on us 3 times and each time it was defeated by greater numbers than the last. Now they are saying higher taxes are needed to resolve THIS problem. It appears to some on the Board that taxes are the SOLUTION, not a means. How about these jokers cut the fat out of the local government? Instead of voting on a new building to hold meetings in, they get rid of dead weight or, cough cough, look at the salaries of county employees and see if they are justified - the Feds do it all the time, ESPECIALLY concerning their contractors. In the words of Madison Ave, Mr. and Mrs BOCS...JUST DO IT! Latayette,
