Manassas Park’s Big, Bold, New Plan
8 December 2011 | Manassas Park | 20 Comments
Finally, there’s a big, bold plan to rescue Manassas Park from their financial doldrums. Put up signs on Rt. 28 that advertise the city as “a destination.” There’s little doubt that employing this heavily overused phrase, one that has been sucked dry of any meaning it ever had long ago, will make the park suddenly explode […]

Mexican Drug Cartels in NOVA
1 December 2011 | Manassas Park, Illegal Aliens, Virginia Politics, Crime, Manassas City, Prince William County | 15 Comments
ICE participated in an investigation involving firearms and cocaine trafficking that resulted in the arrest of eleven people in Fairfax County and the Manassas area, most of whom were foreign nationals from Mexico. Sounds a whole lot like the Mexican drug cartels have set up shop in Virginia, as this isn’t the first time we have been […]

New City Attorney, Same As The Old One
17 September 2011 | Manassas Park, Manassas City | 6 Comments

It’s Easy To Get Cynical
3 April 2011 | National Politics, Manassas Park, Virginia Politics, Manassas City, Prince William County | 22 Comments
It’s really easy to be cynical about our political process at the federal, state and local levels given the utterly depressing news we’ve been bombarded with in the past week. The more we hear these kinds of stories, the more ammunition is handed to the Tea Party movement that they’ll use to blast their elected […]

The House has posted their redistricting bill and within that are broad descriptions of the makeup of the now eight House Districts (up from five) that will be in Prince William.

Getting Rich On The Public Teat
16 March 2011 | Manassas Park | 24 Comments
Now maybe this makes sense, but to me it seems really strange. Why would a municipality pay someone $231,000 a year (plus benefits and expenses) to work part time up to 27 1/2 hours a week? If their duties for that municipality exceed 110 hours in a month, they get to bill the city $175 […]

UPDATE: PWCS Schools closed Friday. What nonsense.
As if this will make any difference at all, PWCPS is closing school an hour early today due to the snow. Another brilliant call by Dr. Walts. Manassas City Schools are closing earlier: OHS & Metz at 12:30, Mayfield at 1:00 and elementary schools at 1:30. Manassas Park […]
