Democrat majority could bring monumental change to confederate symbols

By Potomac Local News
Virignia State Capitol

The power to remove Virginia’s controversial Confederate monuments has been denied to localities under the Dillon Rule, which allows the state to limit the powers of local governments. But a new Democratic majority in the state legislature may open the door to Confederate monuments in the future.

Virginia has 110 Confederate monuments, many of which are housed in Richmond, the former capital of the Confederacy. Among the most notable are the five towering monuments of Confederate leaders lining Monument Avenue. Others live in neighborhoods across the city from Church Hill to Bellevue. The city is home to significant Civil War buildings, including the American Civil War Museum and White House of the Confederacy.

Glen Hill sworn in for fifth term as Prince William County Sheriff

By Uriah Kiser

Sheriff Glen Hill stood with his deputies on Friday night the Prince William County courthouse where all were sworn-in for another four-year term.

It marks Hill’s fifth term as county sheriff. He was first elected in 2003, replacing Lee Stoffregen who had clashed with the county’s police department during his tenure. Before he was sheriff, Hill worked at the jail, and was a Manassas police officer. His time in the community dates back to the late 1960s when he was discharged from the Army and his post at Vint Hill, and chose to continue to live in Manassas.
