The “Tax Cuts and Jobs Act” signed into law last December brought tax relief to middle-class Americans across the country. However, it will have the unintended consequence of causing tax bills to rise for over middle-class taxpayers and will hit Stafford County residents especially hard given Stafford’s high rate of homeownership and burgeoning middle-class.
In a recent video posted on Facebook, Stafford County Commissioner of the Revenue Scott Mayausky explains the incompatibility issue that exists between the federal and state returns and how it will impact Virginia’s middle-class. The video has connected with taxpayers as it was shared more than 275 times and watched 10,000 times within a 4-day period.

From Prince William police:
Abduction | Violation of a Protective Order – On September 13 at 7:20AM, officers responded to investigate a domestic assault at an apartment located in the 14300 block of Jeffries Rd in Woodbridge (22191). The victim, a 47-year-old woman, reported to police that she has been involved in an ongoing domestic dispute with the accused, an acquaintance, since August 26. The investigation revealed that on August 26, the accused allegedly refused to let victim out of his sight when she wanted to leave the apartment. At some point, the accused took the victim’s cell phone when she attempted to contact police. The parties eventually separated, and the victim eventually obtained a protective order against the accused on September 10. The accused subsequently violated the protective order by contacting the victim on September 12. The victim eventually reported the incidents to police on September 13. Following the investigation, officers obtained warrants for the arrest of the accused, identified as Eloy VEGA. Attempts to locate the accused were unsuccessful.
