Connie Gilman said the Prince William County Public Library System is in better shape today than when she inherited it nearly 30 years ago.
Since 1990, the library system has opened four new branches, added programs for children and seniors, and has worked hard, so residents never ask the question: “do we need a library?”

PRINCE WILLIAM COUNTY, Va. — Prince William County Police Chief Barry Barnard will host the first in a series of community conversations in the county.
The first event to be held at Westgate Elementary School near Manassas will be an open forum where Barnard will answer question on any topic, according to the police department:
Jones: Smart development. The city should engage the business community to develop available real estate in the city in such a way that increases and diversifies our tax base, while not increasing demand for city services. This is action the city is already undertaking. The city has a great opportunity to work with private industry to develop the land into both commercial property and age-restricted housing, neither of which increase demand on our school system, our single biggest city expense, while both increase tax revenue.
Dr. Daniel Hampton at Sentara OrthoJoint Center at Sentara Northern Virginia Medical Center in Woodbridge reserves surgery as a last resort for patients with chronic knee pain.

After gaining citizen input, we can begin implementing programs and budgetary choices consistent with the vision expressed by the citizens.
She and her opponent Dana Rienboldt aim to replace Emily Fallon who is sentenced to serve one year in prison after she stole more than $23,000 from the Anne E. Moncure Elementary School PTO, while she was the president of the organization.
First and foremost, ensuring that Stafford County is compensating our teachers and staff members appropriately as planned for in the market-based compensation plan. We need to develop replacement cycles for updating equipment including school buses and technology.
For me, this quotation resonates as I think about the attributes I feel a School Board member needs to possess: selflessness in thinking about all students, passion for the mission of the improvement of our children holistically, and commitment to be in the service of others. For me, the job description is NOT a politician (even though it’s an elected office). Instead, I view it as being a public servant committed to the mission of preparing our children for their futures through good governance, sound stewardship of resources and strong, cascading leadership at all levels of the division.
