30 January 2010 | Manassas Park, Manassas City, Prince William County, 50th HOD District | 10 Comments
While many eyes are on the current 13th House District represented by Bob Marshall that will split into two districts in 2011, another district in Prince William County will undergo significant changes due to redistricting and that will be the 50th District, currently represented by Delegate Jackson Miller. Currently the 50th has a little under […]

17 January 2010 | Manassas Park, Crime | 54 Comments
Well, I can’t say this is all that surprising. A Manassas Park Police Captain who had been implicated in the Rack ‘n Roll scandal resigned after being charged with stealing a vehicle belonging to the Dale City Fire Department? My only question was whether he needed it to transport drug dealers to Manassas Park in […]

The Manassas Park Governing Board appointed Bill Treuting to fill the vacant seat created by the forced resignation of Peter Farrell tonight, dealing another blow to the political aspirations of Jeanette Rishell.

Peter Farrell Resigns
16 November 2009 | Manassas Park | 23 Comments
Manassas Park City Councilman Peter Farrell resigned his position on the Governing Board last Friday according to the News & Messenger, just before his trial on charges of election fraud was scheduled to begin today. The comment from his press release stating that he was giving up simply because he was spending more time outside of Manassas […]
Peter Farrell Update
3 August 2009 | Manassas Park | 21 Comments
The curious case of Peter Farrell continues to grind along, and recently I got some interesting information from an inside source that might answer the question about why this is all happening. This source says that Farrell indeed lives in one of his properties in Manassas Park, but is being targeted because he suggested that […]
Ruttenberg Appeals
24 July 2009 | Rack & Roll Scandal | 6 Comments
The News & Messenger breaks the story about David Ruttenberg’s appeal to the 4th Circuit in the Rack n’ Roll scandal telling Ruttenberg that they wouldn’t print it unless they released the information to him first, instead of here. Oh, well. At least they published a nice photo of a police officer pointing a gun […]
Peter Farrell Must Have Something Really Juicy
8 July 2009 | Manassas Park, Crime | 15 Comments
I wonder what Manassas Park Councilman Peter Farrell (D) did to upset Mayor Frank Jones, given the surprising announcement of Farrell being indicted for election fraud, which is a Class 5 felony offense. Farrell is among those with the least amount of time to rack up felony offenses, and probably among the least guilty of […]

Manassas Park has two openings on the School Board that start June 30th, and guess who shows up to apply for the position? Maybe someone with a long history of working with the school system? Perhaps someone with extensive management experience? This is the Park we’re talking about here, so of course the story isn’t […]

Well, lookie here City of Manassas Park: one of your major arguments against David Ruttenberg in the Rack n’ Roll scandal just got thrown out by the Fifth Circuit, and the Eleventh Circuit agrees!

A Temporary Setback For Rack n’ Roll
15 March 2009 | Rack & Roll Scandal | 30 Comments
InsideNova is reporting this weekend that a U.S. District Court ruled against Dave Ruttenberg in his lawsuit against Manassas Park for the way he was abused by local law enforcement and the city government. I’ve skimmed through the decision, and it is an unmitigated load of garbage issued by a judge who clearly displays the […]

Illegal Alien Drug And Weapons Dealer - Where Is He Now?
7 February 2009 | Illegal Aliens, Manassas Park, Crime | 17 Comments
Last October we learned of the arrest of an illegal alien in Manassas Park who had been selling cocaine and automatic weapons out of the restaurant he owned named El Vaquero. You’d think four months later we’d see some records about the prosecution of Luis Guzman and his two associates, and notice that this restaurant […]

Manassas Park doesn’t seem to do much about the illegal aliens, but boy, do they sure give the legal residents a hard time. Here for eleven years, with a work permit and a driver’s license, this woman gets pulled over by one of the Park’s finest and ends up getting a beating. I think the […]

The Fiscal Implosion Of Manassas Park
8 January 2009 | Manassas Park | 19 Comments
In order to offset a 38% drop in tax revenues in the next fiscal year, the residential tax rate in Manassas Park would have to rise from $1.24 to $2.00 per $100 of assessed value. Years of fiscal mismanagement and bad policy in the Park, abetted by indifference from the electorate crashing down on city […]

Republicans Lose In Manassas Park
4 November 2008 | Manassas Park | 7 Comments
While Peter Farrell won in Manassas Park, Brian Leeper did not. The cabal in Manassas Park continues, dependent on how Peter Farrell and Suhas Naddoni are willing to challenge the established political machine in the Park. If they do, the troubled jurisduction could sgnificantly improve.
Our prayers are with the new Council members as they embark […]

I’ll be watching events in Virginia from afar while I’m on a business trip, but you can keep other readers up to date on what is going on on election day. Are there irregularities at the polls? Are local election officials doing a great job at dealing with the turnout as I expect? When you […]

It appears that Barack Obama is going to wrap up his campaign in none other than Manassas Park. What a fitting end to his campaign.
Let’s completely overwhelm some creaky transportation infrastructure as ObamaManiacs flood route 29 to get to this rally, in a jurisdiction that doesn’t have anything approaching an appropriate venue for something of […]

More Illegal Alien Crime

An illegal alien in Manassas Park was nabbed recently for cocaine and firearms trafficking according to the DC Examiner. This guy apparently had managed to incorporate a business in Virginia, purchase a Hummer, and buy a house all without anyone bothering to verify or perhaps even check to see of he was in the country […]

The Enemy Of Your Enemy Is What Again?
29 October 2008 | Manassas Park | 7 Comments
A letter to the editor in the now-relabeled MJM by Democratic Chair E. J. Scott demonstrates a terrifically rare inability of a local Democratic party unit to obtain any respect from a local newspaper. Seeing the MJM, anything but a bastion of conservative thought, dismiss the candidacies of all the Democrats in Manassas Park is […]
