Politics

LAKE RIDGE — Lillie G. Jessie is running to keep her seat on the Prince William County School Board.

I am currently in the process of taking the first steps to officially run for another four-year term as your Occoquan School Board representative. There are so many candidates for other offices this year. I did not want to announce my candidacy and start filing paperwork until the filing deadline for other candidates had passed.


Traffic

Drivers headed to or from Washington, D.C. this weekend could get stuck in construction-related traffic jams.

DUMFRIES — The Prince William County Service Authority will begin sewer main rehabilitation work in the vicinity of Duke and Washington Streets in Dumfries on Monday, May 6.

The project should take six weeks to complete. Because this rehabilitation work does not involve digging up the street (trenchless), there will be little to no effect on traffic in this area.
