LAKE RIDGE — Ruth Anderson is standing behind her call to name a new park after the late Michele McQuigg, a longtime public servant who came under fire when she opposed same-sex marriage.

The Prince William County Park Commission last month decided to go back the drawing board when it comes to naming the 15-acre park at the corner of Old Bridge Road and Oakwood Drive in Lake Ridge. It was asked to make a recommendation on whether or not McQuigg’s name should be used for the park.
