Prince William Supervisors: “Get a handle on this before it spins out of control”

By Letters to the Editor
The McCoart Building at the Prince William County Government Center in Woodbridge.

Potomac Local News received this letter to the editor from William “Bill” Card, the Prince William County Republican Party Chairman in response to our reporting on last night’s Board of County Supervisors meeting.

Congratulations, your baby is all grown up now and it came to the McCoart Building on Tuesday to terrorize us all. To be sure, any of those people who had any interest in legitimate political discourse voted for you in November. As a famous leftist once said – your “chickens have come home to roost!”

Prince William Supervisors lose control of meeting as Black Lives Matter supporters call for abolishing police, U.S.

By Uriah Kiser

Black Lives Matter supporters filled the Prince William Board of County Supervisors meeting chamber today in Woodbridge.

Through statements laced with profanity, they attacked the sitting members of the elected body, which is controlled by a Democratic majority, for having a discussion about issuing a proclamation that “all lives matter,” immediately preceding the issuance of a proclamation that “black lives matter,” and demanded the county end its partnership with Federal Immigrations and Customs Enforcement.
