Nancy Carol Tierney was an incredible wife, mother, grandmother, sister and friend. She passed away on March 31, 2021 at the age of 73 after a courageous battle with cancer, surrounded by family who will honor her by living their lives to the fullest.

Opinion

In response to a Freedom of Information Act request, the Prince William County government reported paying its 100 highest-paid employees a total of $18.3 million in 2020: that’s 5.4% more than 2019’s figure for that year’s top 100, on top of another 5.4% over 2018’s. (The previous two years’ raises were 1% and 3.8%.)

The increases were even bigger at the top. And these figures don’t include the School Board’s, whose earlier FOIA response showed a similar set of high-end salaries and a few teachers receiving up to $133,000.
