“I am unable to attend the candidate forum hosted by the PW Committee of 100 on October 6, because I will be at First Friday in Manassas that evening. First Friday is a great event and tradition where community members come together to support local businesses and spend time in our city’s historic area. As a working father of two and a small business owner myself, I understand how difficult it can be to find time on a Friday night to go to a debate. That is why I will instead be at a free community event open to all, where I can meet with constituents and talk with them one-on-one about the issues they care about. I’d encourage anyone in our community to come out to this great event, and I look forward to meeting residents where it works best for them.” -Jackson H. Miller, Virginia House of Delegates, 50th District

Fire crews overnight battled a blaze in Haymarket.
From emails between Manassas Local and city officials:
All of the City bike racks, what they term as “school house bike racks,” are being replaced in our parks and around the City with these more bicycle rider preferred bike racks over the next two years or so. Others will be popping up in convenient locations as budgets allow. These new bike racks not only promote the City’s brand, but also look great and encourages our pedestrian and bike friendly community to explore the City.
It’s back to to the overhead route for Dominion’s Haymarket Powerline.
The utility abandoned its plan to build along the controversial Carver Road route, which would have seen a power line built where some of Virginia’s first freed slaves made their home after the Civil War.
