The following letter to Prince William County School Board Chairman Ryan Sawyers was sent to use in an emailed titled “PWC BLACK PASTORS OPPOSE SCHOOL BOARD “GENDERIDENTITY” REVISION”
Dear Chairman Sawyers and School Board Members,
From the Virginia Lottery:
When Chris Edwards discovered he’d won the $5 million top prize in the Virginia Lottery’s 50X the Money game, he didn’t jump up and down and shout. Instead, he went to where his wife was asleep, kissed her and quietly said, “I just won $5 million!”

Prince William Supervisor Jeanine Lawson will ask county leaders to extend the meetings of the 2016 Strategic Plan Committee because the group has not focused on land-use policy.
Residents at a Lawson town hall meeting Thursday night in Bristow said discussing land use — new residential, commercial, agricultural, and municipal developments — should be a topic discussed by the committee.
From VDOT:
