Recently, Historic Manassas, Inc. hosted a City Council Forum. A lot was said and a lot of ideas were raised. The conversation was on point and civil– until the closing remarks.
City Council candidate Rex Parr chose to use his closing statement to go decidedly negative, making inaccurate claims that in some cases play to our fears rather than hopes. When such false claims are made, it tarnishes our city’s reputation and the hard work done by our city staff and employees.
From Delegate Rich Anderson (who is not running for re-election this year):

Corey Stewart, who is working as Donald Trump’s campaign manager in Virginia, and who is also mounting a campaign for Virginia Governor in 2017, has urged other Republicans also running for Virginia Governor next year to work together to get Trump elected president.
Here’s Stewart’s emailed statement to reporters this morning:
For voters in Manassas City, what’s old is new again.
The city will use optical scanner voting machines starting with the November 2017 Election. The machines will use paper ballots, then will insert them into the ballot machine to be counted.
