He seems to be behind the proverbial eight ball on some things. His recent talk in Loudoun County about anti-gang measures seems to have evidenced a certain knowledge gap on his part. Those interested in this subject in LC would know that the establishment of a separate anti-gang task force in the Shenandoah Valley covering the entire I-81 corridor from Winchester to Harrisonburg has been in the works since at least June 09, if not earlier. In fact, Frank Wolf announced in a public meeting in Sterling Park on 1 July 09 that, of the additional $35 million authorized by Congress for the national fight against gangs, three million would go to the NoVA Anti-Gang Task Force and another one million to the new and operationally separate anti-gang task force in the Valley. The Loudoun Independent article on Shannon's campaign appearance made it sound like Shannon was totally unaware of this Valley task force and was proposing a new measure. Shannon did not clear this up on his website, so I guess the Loudoun Independent got it right.
