The Board of County Supervisors for the first time Tuesday heard a proposal to give about 1,000 full-time employees a 4% raise. Another 627 part-time employees who work for the parks and rec department will also get a raise.
It’s going to cost about $5 million to carry out, and the pay raises would be phased in over two years.
The signs erected at — you guessed it — bus stops, will be placed at stops across the county, and at stops in Arlington and Washington, D.C.
The featured photo in this post shows an example of a new bus stop sign that’s sitting in an OmniRide office. The new signs are expected to make their debut first in western Prince William County in January.
Obituary and services pending.

Starting Nov. 1, 2017, the county began offering the lifetime license and since then has issued 9,375-lifetime licenses, according to Stafford County Treasurer Laura Rudy. Now it’s the only type of dog license it issues.
