The indictment of a former Prince William County top election official is just the beginning.
Gov. Glenn Youngkin (R) told Potomac Local News his administration is working to ensure every legal vote is counted in the November 8 General Election.
Manassas residents may have more time to pay their personal property taxes.
Taxes on cars, boats, RVs, and other items are up this year at eye-popping levels as, unlike in previous years, older cars appreciated, resulting in a higher tax bill from tax assessors across the state.
The governor signed two identical pieces of legislation, HB 1128 and SB 528, which will exempt up to $40,000 of veteran retirement pay from taxes and prioritize Virginia’s Military and Veteran Community.
“When I had the great privilege elf being hired by all of you, we expressed a great series of commitments, and you’re at the top of the list of that commitment: to go work on a bi-partisan basis to make Virginia the most military and veteran-friendly state in America,” said Youngkin.
Supervisor Margaret Franklin is pressing county officials for a solution to a rash of deadly shootings.

Hornsby is best known for his 1986 smash “The Way It Is,” which hit number one on the Billboard charts, and “Mandolin Rain,” which reached the top five.

I also received an email from a paid member who complimented us on our Stafford County coverage. I really enjoy the PLN – much better coverage of Stafford than the [Free Lance-Star],” wrote Elizabeth Daly.
Over the years, KO Distilling has become one of my favorite places to hang out.
The Manassas-based distillery at 10381 Central Park Drive makes mean bottles of whiskey and gin and has a cozy tasting room full of bartenders who know how to turn those spirits into tasty cocktails. And, as we reported, they’re expanding into new regions of the U.S.
