Who Is Patricia Richie-Folks?
8 February 2012 | Manassas City | 5 Comments
Manassas Democrats haven’t nominated someone to run for city council in many years, but this time around they did actually manage to find an electoral sacrifice to offer city voters. Patricia Richie-Folks should quite easily live up (or rather, down) to the standard of unqualified, out-of-touch and disconnected Democrat nominees that locks Manassas and […]

Ian Lovejoy Crushes At Manassas Convention
28 January 2012 | Manassas City | 20 Comments
Today’s Manassas City GOP convention was quite a bit different than the rise of the establishment that marked this exercise back in 2008. Then, incumbents cruised towards a certain victory in the general election with a slate of GOP incumbents that changed nothing. This time around, a challenger not only knocked off an incumbent but […]

Mark Wolfe Using Illegal Alien Labor?
23 January 2012 | Illegal Aliens, Crime, Manassas City | 105 Comments
Virtucon alleges this morning that Manassas City Councilman Mark Wolfe has knowingly employed illegal aliens. That’s not going to help with a convention coming up in Manassas on Saturday where Wolfe is on the ballot. Not a bit.
My experience with Wolfe is that he’s been strongly in favor of cracking down on illegal immigration, so this […]

Manassas GOP Candidate Filing Update
14 January 2012 | Manassas City | 13 Comments
The candidate filing deadline for the Manassas GOP convention has passed and there are five candidates for council and two for mayor. Incumbents Johnathan Way, Sheryl Bass and Mark Wolfe have all filed, along with challengers Ian Lovejoy and Charles Patullo. Both Andy Harrover and incumbent Hal Parrish have filed for mayor.
A couple of observations on these races:

You Make The Call
12 January 2012 | Crime, Manassas City | 11 Comments
A gang-banger trafficking in middle school girls as sex slaves in Manassas? Just what might the chances be that he’s an illegal alien? Anyone?
It would hardly be the first time.
Manassas Mayoral Shakeup Fortells Senate Shift?
5 January 2012 | 29th VA Senate, Manassas City | 24 Comments
Reader “JimmyV” noticed a new facebook page tonight for Andy Harrover for Mayor of Manassas, which is quite surprising and raises some interesting questions. This is the first I’d heard that Harrover was interested in the post, and raises interesting questions about what Hal Parrish’s plans might be in public service.

Just in case you haven’t yet had your fill of elections in Virginia, there’s a campaign cycle ramping up in earnest in Manassas City right now. With municipal elections coming up on May 1st that means there’s a Republican convention on January 28th, the outcome of which more often than not determines who is going […]

Santa Arrives Tonight In Manassas
2 December 2011 | Manassas City | No Comments
Santa arrives in Manassas tonight, with festivities starting at 5:30PM. If you don’t know about this, here’s a video I shot of last year’s event that should give you an idea of what happens.
Not sure when or if I’ll be covering events in Manassas in the near future, so make sure you’re there and […]

Good Question
2 December 2011 | Manassas City | 61 Comments
Will Manassas choose a new city manager today, asks A Bridge Too Far? But more to the point, will anyone bother to pay any attention to the matter and offer their input as citizens?
That’s the crux, folks. We whine about the decisions that were made, but when those decisions were being deliberated none of us bothered […]
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 […]

Education Backwards
21 November 2011 | Manassas City | 30 Comments
The Manassas City Schools, failing to meet “adequate yearly progress” goals for the third consecutive year, have done some thinking about how to turn things around and come up with a plan. Despite its progressive, futuristic label, “Education Forward” is essentially the same idea that drug Manassas into the bottom tier of state education performance, […]
Jackson Miller Gets Elevated
20 November 2011 | Virginia Politics, Manassas City, Prince William County | 9 Comments
Jackson Miller gets a party leadership spot as House Majority Whip, and the conviction I’ve held about this Delegate since 2006 starts getting proven: this is an elected official who is going somewhere. That, and Manassas has just gained some legislative clout that’s going to come in handy when Chuck Colgan finally steps down.
Given that Delegate […]

Guest Post By Charles Sutherland
Whenever one hears a report on the school system of the City of Manassas, it’s always bad news.
As the Washington Post and others continue to report test scores, the Manassas City school system is at the bottom of the pile in Northern Virginia. Recent test scores resulted in Osbourn High […]

Manassas Spends $1,500 a Month To Trample Your Rights
18 October 2011 | Manassas City | 27 Comments
Way to go, Manassas City Council. If you want to wage a war against property rights, don’t forget that three of your members are going to face the voters in the May, 2012 municipal elections.
The City of Manassas is joining other localities to wage a campaign against a proposed constitutional amendment in the Virginia legislature that […]

Obama Disses Manassas
13 October 2011 | Manassas City, Prince William County | 7 Comments
Aw, shucks. Barack Obama isn’t going to stop in Manassas on his bus tour this month. After seeing him start and end his presidential campaign in 2008 here, you’d think he wouldn’t be ignoring us with his all important initiative to bankrupt the country further with his new “stimulus” package.
I was all up for holding a sign […]
New City Attorney, Same As The Old One
17 September 2011 | Manassas Park, Manassas City | 6 Comments
When the City of Manassas solicited bids for legal services this year, rather than simply continue with the same rather underwhelming City Attorney year after year, a lot of city residents were expecting some positive changes. They definitely got one in that Robert Bendall announced he was leaving. As for getting better legal services at […]

This week local headlines poked fun at Manassas City Mayor Hal Parrish and Coles District Supervisor Marty Nohe for getting a spot in an upcoming production of the Manassas Ballet Theater with headlines like “Manassas mayor appearing in ballet, sans leotard.” Aside from the laugh such headlines evoke (Is Mayor Hal Parrish going […]
