I should rephrase that to say, “…far more amongst the people that the groups that zeezil mentioned support…”

Funny Anonymous…you know the saying, “people who live in glass houses…,” or “what goes around, comes around?”

Actually, there are plenty of people of all races who could accurately be labeled “racist.” Personally, I’ve witnessed far more of that amongst the groups that zeezil mentioned, not to mention misogyny and pedaphelia.

I tried to post on Fernandez’s blog. Apparently, he didn’t approve of my comments and did not post my comments. So much for socialism/liberalism and open minds.

The only racists in Manassas are Mexicans Without Borders, the Zapatistas, the illegal aliens and their supporters and this moron crackhead Fernandez.

“I think if you just fill out the paperwork and pay a fee you are good to go but I could be mistaken.”

That’s about it. I’d be surprised if anyone posting here could not get one.

so what happens when he starts building the new wall? you know this is going to happen. how can the city stop him? he knows he won’t get a
permit for it. i imagine driving by the coverstone 7/11 one morning, no day laborers there, they are all at 9500 liberty street constructing a wall….

I think you just apply if I remember correctly? Similar to something like a handyman’s permit or something similar.

“I am surprised that he even has a license.”

If you knew just how easy it is to get a Class C contractors license, you wouldn’t be.

wow,

he must be a hell of a contractor from what the other guy said about him (supposedly a friend) this guy is the greatest carpenter since jesus!

however it appears this guy really sucks, buyer beware really applies here. and another thought came to mind, how would you know if this guy is hiring legal people or not? I wouldnt bet on him going the legal route knowing who his friends are

Fernandez was run out of a county down south, I want to say Stafford but I don’t remember. He went down after a tornado and was run out of town.
There will be public hearings if he ever decides to follow the law and apply for a permit for his billboard. Everyone, and I mean everyone should be there to say HELL no!!!!!!!

I am surprised that he even has a license. So reading between the lines here, he probably was an illegal that took the amnesty offer in 1986 if he came over here in 1979 from Mexico. If he continues to break laws can his citizenship be taken back?

A couple of my friends and family from out of state think the guy is a major idiot for the sign, they ask why couldn’t he have just rented a billboard if he wants to get his message out.

I think that the sign was a rallying call to a lot of people to awaken and start calling their elected officials and email them about illegals being here in the county and the country, so thank you Mr. Fernandez.

I’d report it to the Department of Professional and Occupational Regulation (DPOR).

By the way, he is a Class C contractor (Class A and B are significantly harder to qualify for). That means the work he did for you should have been less than $7,500 worth:

“Class C contractors” perform or manage construction, removal, repair, or improvements when (i) the total value referred to in a single contract or project is over $1,000 but less than $7,500, or (ii) the total value of all such construction, removal, repair, or improvements undertaken by such person within any 12-month period is less than $150,000. The Board shall require a master tradesmen license as a condition of licensure for electrical, plumbing and heating, ventilation and air conditioning contractors.

Johnson-

Has your friend reported his dissatisfication with the quality of G&F Construction workmanship to the Better Business Bureau? Has he reported it to the City Manager? Or the Economic and Developement Office? Has he contacted the Project Inspector who signed off on the job? Has he called in 7 On Your Side?

If Fernandez hires a licensed plumber or an electrician to perform this work, it’s perfectly OK. It is not OK for him to do it himself, or to have someone he got at the Coverstone 7-11 do it.

“interesting, if he did unlicensed work wouldnt that be against the law?”

Indeed.

18VAC50-22-30. Definitions of specialty services.

“Home improvement contracting” (Abbr: HIC) means that service which provides for repairs or improvements to one-family and two-family residential buildings or structures annexed to real property. The BLD classification also provides for this function. The HIC specialty does not provide for electrical, plumbing, HVAC, or gas fitting functions. It does not include high rise buildings, buildings with more than two dwelling units, or new construction functions beyond the existing building structure other than decks, patios, driveways and utility out buildings.

Let me emphasize…

“The HIC specialty does not provide for electrical, plumbing, HVAC, or gas fitting functions.”
