Jeanie Heflin will sleep a bit better tonight knowing local officials don’t want to see the demise of her farm.
Now she and her husband wait to see what the Commonwealth Transportation Board does — the group in Richmond that could decide to turn her 80-year-old farm in Haymarket into a commuter lot to serve Interstate 66.
Republican state legislators said Northern Virginia residents are being treated like the state’s “ATM” for a plan to toll all lanes of Interstate 66 inside the Beltway.
Republican leaders from Richmond and locally elected GOP leaders in Prince William County gathered on stage Oct. 22 for a town hall meeting at Battlefield High School in Haymarket to protest the Virginia Department of Transportation Plan plan backed by Gov. Terry McAuliffe.
I am the present School Board member representing the Potomac District. I am a candidate for reelection. I have never joined a political party.
I am an Independent. The School Board is nonpartisan. I belong to the Children’s Party. I vote for what I feel is best for our children’s education.
Providing for public safety and ensuring our brave men and women in law enforcement have the tools they need to do their jobs effectively is among the top priorities of any elected official. In the Town of Dumfries, where I serve as Mayor, that responsibility took on added meaning a couple years ago.
As many of you know, the reputation of the Dumfries Police Department took a big hit in 2010 when there was major turnover within the Department, including the Chief and Assistant Chief, following an investigation into wrongdoing and mismanagement by the Virginia State Police and Virginia Department of Criminal Justice, as well as an internal investigation.
On November 3, I will be voting for Earnie Porta for Occoquan Supervisor.
He has the experience in municipal finance, the proven leadership skills in government as Mayor of Occoquan and the right priorities and ideas for addressing our challenges in education, transportation, economic development and environmental protection.
As the former Attorney General for the Commonwealth of Virginia, I have worked with Commonwealth’s Attorneys throughout the state. And as a resident of Prince William County, I strongly support Mike May to be our next Commonwealth’s Attorney – our local prosecutor.
When considering the candidates for Commonwealth’s Attorney, the most important thing we should look for is a leader whose judgment we can trust. We need someone of even-handed temperament who will be firm, fair and transparent in all circumstances.
I am writing to express our support for Mike May for Commonwealth Attorney.
I believe it is time for Prince William to change leadership and move forward. In the past two years we have had the unfortunate need to deal with Paul Ebert’s office. The experience was extremely upsetting to the children (victims) and my entire family for the lack of support for them and us during this horrible time.
I barely know Mike May. I have only met him briefly three or four times. I couldn’t tell you if he is married or if he has any kids. I don’t golf with him. Never been to his house. Never watched a football game with him.
In fact, I don’t know much about his record as a public servant. But I am encouraging everyone I know to vote for him to be the next Commonwealth’s Attorney for Prince William County because of what I know about Paul Ebert.
