Stafford County Public Schools held the inaugural Chart Your Future Expo on Wednesday, October 12, 2022, at the Fredericksburg Expo & Conference Center.

According to an email from the Prince William County Office of Elections, obtained by Potomac Local News, the county had used a cloud-based Web interface called PollChief developed by tech firm Konnech that manages election officer data. Under our contract, the company’s data servers were stated to be in the U.S., in Michigan and California.
Konnech Corporation CEO Eugene Yu was taken into custody Tuesday, October 4, following an investigation by the Los Angeles District Attorney’s Office on suspicion of theft of personal identifying information. Instead of housing data in the U.S., investigators believe it was sent to China.
On Monday, October 10 at 1:31 a.m., officers responded to the Shell service station located at 17250 Dumfries Road to investigate a suspicious vehicle.

Construction of eight bridges along Interstate 95 will lead to full traffic stops on both I-95 northbound and southbound between midnight and 3 a.m. this week in the Fredericksburg area.
Drivers with destinations outside the Fredericksburg area should consider an alternate route to avoid major delays, according to the Virginia Department of Transportation.
