MANASSAS — A feasibility study is complete, and now city officials will take the discussion about a new downtown library to the public.

An informal meeting will be held at 7 p.m. on the Manassas Museum lawn to discuss the construction of a new combination library and museum building that would be located on the grounds of the Manassas Museum. The two-story, 30,000 square foot complex could incorporate the existing city museum, be built in front of the existing museum, or closer to the corner of Main and Prince William streets.

In 2016, the General Assembly enacted a legislation requiring the Virginia State Police to staff gun shows and be available to conduct voluntary background checks upon request by private, non-federally licensed gun sellers as part of a broader compromise on concealed weapon permits. The law has been a total failure.

The legislation required the state to spend $300,000 to hire three new Virginia State Police employees to be present at all gun shows. What have we got for our $300,000?

From Prince William County:

Calling is still the best way to contact 911 in an emergency, but in certain situations, a text might be better. The Prince William County Office of Public Safety Communications can now accept text-to-911 emergency messages from AT&T, Sprint, T-Mobile and Verizon Wireless customers who find themselves needing assistance in Prince William County and the cities of Manassas and Manassas Park. The service should only be used when someone has a physical disability or special need where calling is not possible or when speaking out loud would put the caller in danger.
